About KTG
The storage and handling of dry bulk goods has formed the core business of KTG for eight
decades. Our port operation at Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg, the "Kalikai", has a reputation for being
particularly efficient and flexible among loading and shipping companies. With that as our point of
departure, we have developed "along the supply chain".
|
A first step was the formation in 1990 of
German Bulk Chartering (GBC) with its
registered office in Hamburg. It brings together cargo and vessels - at the right place, at the
right time, and at the right price.
In 2000, we took over
United Bulk Transport See- und Hafen-Spedition GmbH Rostock
(UBT) (UBT). As service providers to shipping companies, our clearing agents look after ships and
crews while they remain in port. This goes hand in hand with forwarding arrangements - a further
link in the chain.
However, port business alone was not enough for us: We also wanted to become active in the
hinterland. At the end of 2002, we formed the trucking department within UBT, which now organizes
transport by road across Europe.

A further milestone was the foundation of the KTG division "Container Services" in 2001,
enabling us to develop and expand Supply Chain Management (SCM) in a particular direction:
Arranging and performing the whole range of transport services involved in shipping containers from
production sites in the interior of the country to customers.
As a result of the
K+S Group's rapidly growing business and the high demands of
our associated companies, KTG has developed into a competent SCM partner that is now also
attractive to third parties.
Maintaining service standards at all times, displaying a capacity for innovation and attaining
further growth - that is the part that we will continue to follow along the supply chain.
