As the largest European rail freight operator, we ensure fast and reliable delivery of construction products, building materials and construction elements.

This requires exceptional organization, implementation and equipment demands within the supply chain.

We offer you a Railport system with high-capacity service centers, the very latest loading and unloading techniques and special rail transport equipment.

We have delivered approximately four million tons of materials to the major construction site for Berlin's new BBI airport. In addition to the logistics handling of building materials, we also offer customized solutions for waste disposal logistics and logistical infrastructures for key raw materials - lime, gypsum and slurry.
