The HOYER Group, one of the world’s leading providers of logistics solutions for liquid goods, has made extensive investments in two network sites offering cleaning, workshop and depot services. In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Laem Chabang, Thailand, our network partner cotac has completed the enhancement of two depots. With this step, HOYER and cotac have strengthened their presence in the strategically important Asia-Pacific logistics hubs and have expanded their value-added service portfolio for international customers in the chemical, gas and food industries. These infrastructure extensions lay the foundation for increased performance and future growth.
At the Ho Chi Minh City site, extensive investments were made in the existing facility. A modern office building provides the site with space for further growth, and the depot’s capacity has been increased to over 1,000 tank containers.
“Vietnam is currently one of our strongest-performing locations worldwide – both in terms of economic development and operational performance,” says Rickard Gonera, Managing Director of cotac Asia. “We have established ourselves as a reliable partner, particularly in the field of specialized cleaning, and are able to handle demanding products such as MDI, TDI and latex in a professionally correct way.”
Ongoing staff training and close collaboration with the cotac site in Singapore ensure high quality standards. In future, these will be progressed by a dedicated Safety Representative in Ho Chi Minh City to optimize additional processes.
The Laem Chabang site in Thailand was expanded at the same time. Depot capacity was increased from 900 to 1,600 tank containers. In addition, cleaning processes and workshop areas were further developed to meet growing customer requirements. The team in Laem Chabang specializes in tank modifications for European customers, and is preparing for future specialized cleaning demands.
Gonera also says, “With the expansions in Vietnam and Thailand, we are responding to the growing importance of these locations in the Asia-Pacific region and reaffirming our commitment to the market. cotac stands for flexibility, quality and solution-oriented service – even for individual customer requirements.”
