Delivery of paper rolls to printing houses
Paper rolls from various European paper factories are carried from the customer's siding to the Railport, where they are unloaded and put into storage. The Railport is responsible for both stock management and quality control.
When called for, the rolls are carried to the various printing works they are destined for by special vehicle. The response time, from the stock issue request to the delivery right to the printing machine, comes to just 40 minutes in each individual case.
Dispatch of loose gypsum in bulk
The gypsum is delivered in bulk transporters. It is unloaded by conveyor belt and put into intermediate storage at the Railport. On receipt of the customer's order, the gypsum is put into sacks at the Railport itself and then delivered by truck to DIY stores in the local catchment area.
