Freight Krefeld – Affordable and Reliable
Freight Forwarding Krefeld – logistics on the Lower Rhine between textile tradition and chemical industry Krefeld – with over 220,000 inhabitants one of the largest cities on the Lower Rhine – looks back on a proud history as the "Silk City". The textile and silk weaving industry, for which Krefeld was known throughout Europe, shaped the city economically and still leaves its mark on the business landscape today: specialty textiles, technical fabrics and nonwovens are still produced and exported. Alongside its textile tradition, Krefeld is today primarily known as a chemical location. In the Uerdingen district, LANXESS (formerly Bayer) operates one of Germany's largest chemical production sites. This chemical park generates significant daily transport volumes for chemicals, industrial gases, specialty resins and plastic granulates – goods with special requirements for load securing and hazardous goods transport. Krefeld's motorways A44 (towards Düsseldorf/Dortmund) and A57 (towards Cologne/Nijmegen) make it a well-connected location at the junction of the Benelux route and the Ruhr region connection. NexCargo uses this strategic position for fast collections and efficient direct connections to Cologne, Düsseldorf and neighbouring countries.
