Freight One, the largest private railway operator in Russia, reports a 2,5 times YoY increase in transportation volume of HeidelbergCement’s products in 5M 2020, up to 56,500 tons. The growth occurs primarily due to the resumption of railway dispatches from HeidelbergCement’s CESLA plant in the Leningrad Region, as per Freight One’s representatives.
“Understanding the challenges HeidelbergCement is facing [these days], our specialists offer favorable transportation conditions, services and opportunities,” says Deputy Chief Commercial Officer at Freight One, Andrei Kravets. — Our long-term contracts guarantee that we fully meet the needs of our customers in rolling stock, deferred payments, that we optimize transportation costs and provide an individual service approach.”
NLMK Group, Ilim Group, Mondi Syktyvkar Timber Industry Complex, Russian Coal, Severstal, Siberian Coal Energy Company and others are now working with Freight One under such long-term contracts.
In January-February 2020, Freight One reported an increase in the transportation of products from HeidelbergCement Volga by three times YoY, up to 41,000 tons.
