VSL SiloLogistics to increase capacity at Valuepark

VSL SiloLogistics is to increase its storage capacity at Valuepark Terneuzen substantially. Since 2003, the former Vos Logistics (now VSL SiloLogistics) has been taking care of the transportation and storage of polyethylene granules (PE and LDPE) for Dow Benelux.

Dow, together with Zeeland Seaports, is a co-partner in the joint venture Valuepark Terneuzen . "We look forward to the continuation of the cooperation. With the expansion of the storage capacity, VSL SiloLogistics is investing in a long-term relationship with the chemical concern", according to Pieter de Graeff, CEO of VSL SiloLogistics.

As VSL SiloLogistics is investing in 22,500 m2 of extra warehouse storage and 8 silos, Dow will be able to store all polyethylene granules under cover from now on. This is a wish of Dow’s to satisfy the quality requirements of customers for these products, particularly in the food and health industries.

Pieter de Graeff, CEO of VSL SiloLogistics and Gerard van Harten, Chairman of the Dow Benelux Board of Directors, signed the renewed contract on Wednesday 28 September.

Gerard van Harten, Chairman of the Dow Benelux Board of Directors, also underlined the power of the partnership. "Dow believes in long-term partnerships and it is very nice to have a partner that is close by. Moreover, it means that the concept of the Valuepark – production and logistics close together – is a success. Next year, Valuepark Terneuzen will celebrate its tenth anniversary and VSL SiloLogistics helped to make this possible."
