We were delighted to host H.E. Patrick Van Gheel, Ambassador of Belgium to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, together with a Belgian diplomatic and economic delegation at Bertschi in Dürrenäsch. 🇧🇪🤝🇨🇭
The Ambassador was joined by Michelangelo Temmerman, Diplomatic Advisor at the Belgian Embassy in Bern, Luc Fabry from Flanders Investment & Trade, and Terence Zeyer, Senior Investment Advisor representing the Walloon Region.
The visit provided a valuable opportunity to exchange on the strong economic ties between Belgium and Switzerland, and on the important role Belgium plays within Bertschi’s European logistics network.
📍 At the Port of Antwerp, in the heart of Europe’s largest integrated chemical cluster, Bertschi operates the AZT trimodal chemical terminal and Plastics Hub. AZT offers 2,500 TEU of container storage capacity, including 1,290 TEU for dangerous goods, as well as steam, warm-water and electric heating and direct connections by rail, barge and truck. 🚆🚢🚛
Our Plastics Hub provides additional capacity for 2,000 30' box containers and 50,000 tonnes of bulk storage, together with services including container decanting and liner installation.
From Antwerp, we support door-to-door supply chains and forward stock locations across the Benelux region and throughout Europe.
Thank you to Ambassador Van Gheel and the delegation for the visit and the interesting exchange. We appreciate the opportunity to further strengthen the connections between Belgium and Switzerland. 🤝
