Leverkusen | June 25, 2009: Chemion Logistik expands the rental of fork lift trucks to Momentive
Momentive Performance Materials, leading manufacturer of silicon, quartz and special ceramic, is expanding the vehicle fleet rented from Chemion to a total of 47 industrial trucks from September 1. The good price-performance ratio, the flexible and fast service and the offer of further individual services all relating to the vehicle fleet management were the decisive factors for the decision of Momentive to expand the existing business relationship to Chemion.
„We appreciate the fast and flexible reaction times – if required a mechanic is on site within two hours. Moreover, Chemion offers expert advice and has excellent services through specialized personnel,“ are the reasons given by Rolf Moelgen, Sourcing Director EMEA&India at Momentive Performance Materials GmbH, for his company’s decision to rent the complete industrial truck fleet from Chemion Logistik GmbH. From September 1, in addition to the 30 fork lift trucks so far, a further 17 industrial trucks (8 propellant gas fork lift trucks, 6 electrical EX-fork lift trucks, 3 drawbar vehicles) will be made available by Chemion for a term of 60 months. The existing vehicle fleet will be partly exchanged for new vehicles. The good price-performance ratio, the transport of the appliances to the place of assignment, the control of deadlines as well as the availability 24 hours a day are also service aspects in the offer of Chemion, which are appreciated by Momentive.
With a vehicle fleet of a total of 2,000 industrial trucks – including 400 explosion-protected fork lift trucks (EX-fork lift trucks) - Chemion is the market leader in Europe in the field of „Providing of EX-appliances“. The industrial truck fleet management department has recognized the greatest requirement of companies for short-term rental (1 day up to 12 months) of industrial truck appliance and therefore consistently expanded the offer of rental vehicles in this field in the last two years. Medium-sized companies particularly also frequently have a short-term requirement for fork lift trucks in production, warehouse or distribution when it is necessary for example to cover peak production periods. Chemion can deliver the requested appliance within 48 hours and thereby give the customers a mobility guarantee which guarantees the necessary flexibility with planning and use of the fork lift trucks. For Angelo Lombardo, head of industrial truck fleet management at Chemion, there is a further point which is of decisive importance in the range of services. „We have organised our portfolio to the extent that not just various services can be combined with each other, but also the respective service depth can be determined. This way the customer can choose exactly the mix of services and service intensity which he needs in his special situation.“
