Flexitank market proves to be recession-proof

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

Bulk wine shipments are on the rise and flexitanks are in a good position to play a bigger role in this trade.

The tank container industry is going on the offensive in terms of defending its patch, with flexitanks and ocean carriers in its sights.

Looking for alternative export routes, Ukraine has sent a test container train with its sunflower oil to the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda

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.
