“Customers value and trust in our depth of experience when it comes to the safe handling and storage of specialty products,” said Yonggang Shang, Commercial Manager, Stolthaven Tianjin. “Our 12 dedicated weighbridge systems, which ensure efficient truck loading for inland distribution, is a key value-added for many of our customers.”
