BDP Project Logistics forms Czech unit
Source: CargoNews Asia, February 19, 2009 – BDP Project Logistics has established an office in Prague to meet Central and Eastern Europe’s growing demand for its services. In addition to the Czech Republic, the new office will focus on business development in Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.
“Expansion of the EU to include former CEE countries, subsequent growth in direct foreign investment and a continuing shift of production facilities from Western Europe make this region a particularly strong market for project logistics,” said Luc Van Heygen, BDP Project Logistics managing director for the Americas and Europe.
The company’s parent, BDP International, established a presence in the Czech Republic in 2007, when it formed a joint venture with Czech logistics firm, Wakestone.
