Is your export packaging ISPM-15 compliant for Mannheim shipments?

How do you protect sensitive machinery during transport from Mannheim?

Klose uses VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) protection, vacuum sealing, desiccants, and vibration-damped, skid-based packaging engineered to the specific equipment — so precision instruments and climate-sensitive machinery arrive in the same condition they left.

Can you handle oversized and heavy haulage from Mannheim?

Yes. Klose coordinates oversized and heavy haulage including route surveys, permit applications, and multi-modal transport across road, rail, sea, and air — planned from origin to final delivery and unloading.

Do you offer warehousing and staging in Mannheim?

Yes. Klose provides secure warehousing and staging for equipment between project phases, with inventory tracking and condition monitoring so materials are available exactly when the schedule needs them.

Specialist export packing vs. standard freight packing for Mannheim

	Klose specialist packing	Standard freight packing
Standards	ISPM-15 and IATA compliant, fully documented	Generic packing, compliance gaps at customs
Protection	VCI and vibration-damped to the equipment	One-size packing regardless of sensitivity
Customs	Marked and documented to clear customs cleanly	Hold-ups when marks or papers are missing
Transport	Full multi-modal chain planned under one contract	Packing and haulage handled separately
Risk in transit	Engineered to arrive damage-free	Higher risk of corrosion and transit damage

Packaging is insurance you only notice when it fails — we build the crate for the machine, not for the average box.
