How Exolum’s Mannheim terminal has evolved from traditional inland storage terminal to a strategically important multi-product hub
As industries across Europe grapple with the declining chemical sector, storage terminals are in a unique position where demand is up. As part of this change, facilities are stepping up to handle the demands of these new imports.
Connected to domestic and international markets by the River Rhine, road and rail, market leader, Exolum, has been adapting its Mannheim, Germany, terminal into a platform supporting chemical, industrial and fuel supply chains across southern Germany and neighbouring markets – serving both large groups and medium/ smaller companies, Germany’s famed ‘Mittelstand’.
‘That evolution reflects broader market trends: stable but changing demand in chemicals and fuels, increasing regulatory complexity, and a clear customer pull for flexible, responsive support – not just storage volume,’ says Frank Schulze, managing director & terminal manager for Exolum Mannheim.
