Thanks to our careful logistical planning - with storage facilities in northern and southern Germany, and a mixing plant in Aken in Saxony-Anhalt - we can readily supply our products, at a competitive rate without placing undue stress on the environment, to building sites throughout Germany. The natural materials lava stone and pumice are miles ahead in terms of environmental awareness, as their pore volume is not achieved by using artificial, energy-consuming procedures, but has been produced by nature for nothing. For the long haul shipment of these materials, waterway transport has replaced road transport, so that road vehicles are now required for short routes only. In contrast with many secondary raw material suppliers, Vulkatec has established strategically placed material centres, with the result that we can utilise the waterways in Europe to ensure a more environmentally friendly long haul transport of our products.
