Kricon Group BV, a renowned logistics company from Germany established in 2010, is widely recognized for its liquid transport services and top-tier tank containers. In 2022, the company launched its Flexitank division under the guidance of Matthias Bombe, a seasoned professional with over 15 years of experience managing the Braid Flexitanks division.
Collaborating closely with Yuriy Ude, the business development director of Kricon Group, Bombe orchestrated the development of the optimal flexible tank kit. Leveraging the cutting-edge equipment for which Kricon Group is renowned, they engineered a secure, customizable, and adaptable solution for customers. With comprehensive insurance coverage, Kricon Group can provide tailored transport insurance options to its clientele.
Flexitanks offer greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness compared to solid tanks. Designed to fit standard 20-foot dry shipping containers, they are ideal for one-way liquid transport, boasting capacities ranging from 14,000 to 24,000 liters. Constructed from multi-layer polypropylene (PP) bags weighing 60 kilograms when empty and folded, Flexitanks come equipped with accessories, linings, and bulkheads.
Their sterile nature ensures the preservation of liquid products without risk of contamination, making them particularly suitable for kosher and halal products, as well as non-hazardous chemicals. Moreover, Flexitanks eliminate the need for repositioning empty tanks, saving companies over USD 20 billion annually in repositioning costs.
Despite their advantages, Flexitanks are not universally applicable. Solid tanks remain the preferred choice for transporting large quantities of hazardous materials and for liquid containers requiring larger sizes than Flexitanks can accommodate. With this in mind, only certified professionals like Kricon Group’s personnel should install Flexitanks inside containers, a service available globally.
In addition to Flexitanks, Kricon Group also offers solid tanks tailored to various needs, ensuring optimal stability and size for any cargo. Their consultants provide expert guidance to determine the best shipping solutions for liquid cargo, taking into account individual supply chains and shipping requirements. Committed to providing safe and reliable container and shipping solutions, Kricon Group is the trusted choice for loading and shipping liquid products. So whether you need a Flexitank or a tank container, Kricon Group has you covered.
