Solar logiSticS in<br />
the whole of europe<br />
Since May of this year, <strong>Geis</strong> supports international solar company SCHOTT Solar AG, based in Mainz,<br />
with the logistics management of photovoltaic products.<br />
he services that <strong>Geis</strong> provides to SCHOTT<br />
Solar at its Erlangen-Frauenaurach site<br />
include loading and unloading trucks and<br />
containers, warehousing, distribution, customs management<br />
and continuous quality control.<br />
The goods arrive at the Logistics and Technology<br />
Centre in Frauenaurach from a manufacturing plant.<br />
<strong>Geis</strong> then distributes them to wholesalers throughout<br />
Europe. The employees process up to 30 loads of the<br />
sensitive solar components per day at goods inwards<br />
and outwards. <strong>Geis</strong> also runs, via Czech subsidiary<br />
Feico, daily scheduled round-trip deliveries between<br />
SCHOTT’s Alzenau plant near Frankfurt am Main<br />
and the company’s plant in Valašské Meziříčí in the<br />
east of the Czech Republic.<br />
“In solar logistics, business fluctuates greatly on a daily<br />
basis. The goods we deal with are also highly sensitive”,<br />
explains Hans-Peter Schneider, Sales Manager<br />
of <strong>Geis</strong> Industrie-Service GmbH. “Thanks to<br />
our longstanding experience, the challenges in this<br />
area have become routine for us by now. Our broad<br />
expertise and high degree of flexibility mean that we<br />
can guarantee our customers the best-possible quality<br />
at all times.” —<br />
