For all rail transports between Europe and China, the new Militzer & Münch Rail Competence Center (RCC) is not only an important interface to the customer, but also to all country units. Michael Spitzlei and his team are working from Düsseldorf, Germany.
The demand for rail transports between China and Europe has been rising steadily for years. Since the beginning of 2018, Militzer & Münch has regarded the RCC in Düsseldorf as a branch in its own right, handling all the group’s rail transports through one central point of contact.
The RCC team is familiar with the various import and customs regulations and the different rail track gauges of the countries. Rail freight from Europe to China takes only 18 to 20 days — faster than sea freight and cheaper than airfreight.
“On the connection Europe-China, we registered a rise of about 30 percent in the full container load segment in the year-on-year comparison. With less than container loads, we even had a 50 percent increase,” says Michael Spitzlei, Head of the Rail Competence Center. The newest service: on the Duisburg-Wuhan route, Militzer & Münch offers rail transport of LCL consolidation boxes with departures from Duisburg every Saturday.
