This has resulted in numerous construction logistics projects, such as the renewal and expansion of railway tracks and the general refurbishment of tracks and lines.

Construction logistics is one of the core competences in the Rail division at EP Logistics International – based at LOCON AG in Berlin.

The Group is massively expanding this area by combining the expertise and resources of LOCON and SGL, thus becoming one of the leading railway construction logistics companies in Germany.

The responsible managers Carsten Meger, Armin Birkenbeul, Wolfgang Rutkowske and Jan Elfenhorst are currently launching a project to intensify cooperation, interconnection and integration.

LOCON is primarily present in eastern Germany, SGL mainly in southern Germany – the common goal is to expand the geographical scope, make better use of resources and further invest in rail construction logistics – both in terms of sales and resources.
