Flexible foes

Last year was a bumper one for the production of tank containers, but now an oversupply looms.

Following approval from relevant authorities Deutsche Post DHL Group has closed the acquisition of Hillebrand Group for €1.5B

Flexitanks are increasingly becoming part and parcel of wider logistics services offered by some of the industry’s giants.
