HOYER takes over ELD (European Liquid Drumming)

March 2010

Hamburg – At the beginning of the year 2010, the HOYER Group took over 100 percent of ELD (European Liquid Drumming) B.V. based in Oosterhout. Since 2002, it had held a 50 percent share in a joint venture with the Dutch Peterson Group. 

The service portfolio of ELD covers a variety of logistics services for liquid products. This includes filling, packing and dispatch of dangerous goods (classes 3, 6.1, 8 and 9) as well as of non-dangerous goods. IBCs, drums and small containers are filled in state-of-the-art filling facilities, to be dispatched as single units or on pallets. Storage facilities with a capacity for 12,000 drums are available. Blending of liquid chemical products is also possible. Depending on customer requirements, these goods can be decanted into containers from one to 1,000 litres.

Door-to-door round-the-clock availability to all major pan-European business hubs completes the service. 

During the past years ELD has significantly expanded its capacity. Six filling lines are currently available, two of them exclusively for IBCs. Customers include major European chemical companies. Last year, 30 employees generated a turnover of approx. five million euros.  

The complete take-over of ELD completes HOYER’s logistics service portfolio in the Benelux countries.

The HOYER Group, with its head office in Hamburg, is one of the leading bulk logistics service providers on a global basis and an international partner to the chemical, mineral oil, gas and foodstuff industries. Founded in 1946, the family-owned company currently operates in more than 87 countries, generating a turnover of approx. EUR 860 million in 2009 with its 5,400 employees.
