The Galician multinational will invest 6 million euros and is expected to open in spring 2016.

This Production and Logistics Centre will have a covered area of 10 500m². It will have a powder coating plant with the most advanced technology, areas allocated for storage of the raw and powder coated profiles, accessories and hardware. It will also include an assembly line for thermal break and a 350 m² showroom that will display the main windows, doors, façades, composite panel, balustrade and solar protection systems designed by the R+D+i Department. These facilities in Bucharest will also have an Architecture and Engineering Department of CORTIZO which purpose is to offer personalized technical assistance to the architects of the country.

It already has 4 Distribution and Logistics Centres in the cities of Cluj, Timisoara, Bacau and Bucharest. They are all connected to CORTIZO’s plant in Slovakia through the company’s own fleet of trucks. The use of these synergies makes it possible to supply with absolute assurance and immediacy to any point in the country, offering an efficient response to the increasing demand in the Romanian market. In that regard the Delegate of Cortizo in Bucharest expressed: “The leadership in the markets of Banato, Transylvania and Moldavia reflect that CORTIZO ROMANIA has a demand in this area that makes it necessary to have its own plant. For this reason, CORTIZO has decided to create a production structure in Bucharest”, claimed Gabriel Savu. CORTIZO aluminium systems for architecture are present in landmark buildings in this country such as the Secret Services Headquarters, the building of Research for Applied Sciences of the University of Craiova or the Shopping Centre.

Gebrüder Weiss Devises Innovative Method to Secure Sensitive Cargo

APRIL 6, 2015

Gebrüder Weiss has handled the air transport of a 19.6-ton mobile analysis laboratory from Romania to Qatar. The short timeframe of 14 days required by the client called for chartering a freighter, but the cargo itself could not be secured in a standard way — a logistics challenge.

The laboratory measured 11.6 meters long, 4.8 meters wide and 3.4 meters high. Gebrüder Weiss chartered an AN-124-100 air freighter to carry the lab and 20 tons of small parts and spares, Project Cargo Network said in a statement on behalf of its member. Visible modifications to the outside of the analyzer house were strictly forbidden, which meant that the usual procedures to provide additional lashing points like welding and bolts were not possible.

Gebrüder Weiss came up with an unusual solution to both safely secure the cargo and avoid visible modifications. The team used a "disappearing" steel base plate bolted to the floor of the analyzer house. The plate provided 24 lashing eyes all around the lab. Protruding lights on the lab had to remain in place, which presented a second challenge. Steel bars with lashing holes at both ends were placed on the roof of the analyzer house as a provisional securing against vertical movement only — no screws or bolts required, Gebrüder Weiss.

Once secured, the cargo was moved by truck from the factory in Cluj, located in the northwest of Romania, to Bucharest Otopeni Airport, where customs procedures and x-rays were completed. A mobile crane was used to lift the unit off the trailer and onto the AN-124-100's ramp system, which can hold weights up to 120 tons and allows loading even at ill-equipped airports. Once the house had been lifted onto the ramp, cabling was used to pull it into the freighter with about 10 centimeters of clearance on each side.

It was then flown to Qatar and transported to a fertilizer plant. "The flight to Qatar, the handling at Doha Airport and the final delivery to a fertilizer factory just 20 kilometers away from the airport progressed without any problems or delays," Gebrüder Weiss said. "The aftermath of the loading was as uneventful as the preparation phase stressful."
