Logistics
Are you looking for a well-connected logistics centre for your activities? Do you need first-class infrastructures to satisfy the needs of your clients? Located in the heart of Europe, Luxembourg has established itself as an ideal intercontinental and multimodal logistics hub for value-added logistics activities. Its well-developed and interconnected infrastructure enables rapid and cost-effective management, covering even the most specialised supply chains - a key success factor for companies with global cross-border activities.
Multimodality - combine the advantages of different types of transport
Mutimodal transport - the magic formula that is revolutionising logistics in Luxembourg. In fact, Luxembourg hosts two of the most significant logistic hubs in Europe and benefits from unrivalled connectivity to European markets.
- Luxembourg’s international airport is one of the leading freight airports in Europe and home base of Cargolux, Europe’s leading all-cargo carrier. Luxembourg’s airport cargo centre has a total capacity of one million tons of freight per year and offers high-quality services. With its modern and well-equipped air freight handling facilities, Luxcargo Handling offers secure, efficient and speedy ground handling, allowing cargo wide-body aircraft to unload and settle customs' duties at a record speed. Trucks are then on the motorway network within a few minutes and able to reach any European city in less than 24 hours.
- These links benefit from one of the most important rail sorting infrastructures in Europe which is located in the south of the country, between Bettembourg and Dudelange, where the Luxembourg-Perpignan rail motorway also ends. Lorry-Rail, a subsidiary of CFL, operates a rail motorway service for standard unaccompanied semi-trailers that connects Luxembourg to the South of France and Spain. This innovative multimodal solution ensures the transportation of semi-trailers over a distance of more than 1,000km. New routes through Europe are also planned and will enhance the Lorry-Rail means of transport.
- Connected to rail and motorway network, the river port of Mertert offers warehousing and services based on tri-modal, waterway-oriented transport logistics to other inland and North Sea destinations (e.g. coaster shipping). It is essentially used for the distribution and reception of containers as well as bulk products such as steel, iron, petroleum products, construction materials, fertilizers and heavy concrete.
