Suttons Group News

At Suttons International we offer our customers flexibility in their tank container logistics to meet their exact needs. Our Contract Business ensures that customers who require complete control over their tank container supply chains are guaranteed this option.

This month we speak to Kim Hanique, Regional Director Europe, to hear her perspective on the state of the European market, future outlook, and the ongoing issues caused by the war in Ukraine.

The Operations Team based out of our Antwerp office supports our commercial and technical teams across Europe to deliver fantastic reliable service and value to their customers across the region.

To keep our fleet of over 14,000 tank containers in top condition while serving a global customer base, we conduct regular inspections and maintenance. We believe in promoting behavioural safety to ensure our engineers and technicians remain safe while operating on our tanks.

Operating a global portfolio of customer shipments, delivering consistently excellent customer outcomes and providing high delivery performance standards, the Suttons team based from our Belgian location in Antwerp works collaboratively with each customer to create a tailored logistics solution.

The sales team based in Belgium operate out of our European HQ in Antwerp to bring customers in the Benelux region and Western Europe the highest levels of reliability, value, and safety in their tank container logistics.

Suttons International’s Antwerp office is our largest office in Europe. With a staff of over 30 colleagues made up of commercial, sales and operation teams, the Antwerp office serves as our European central hub to bring regional customers the high levels of reliability, service, value, and safety that we are known for.

When defining the Core Values that guide our company culture, Safety First was agreed to be our most important and prominent value. This value outlines our commitment to the wellbeing of our employees, the environment we operate in, and our customers and the wider chemical logistics industry. We believe safety to be so crucial to our culture that it even features on our company strapline: “Delivering Life’s Essentials Safely”.

Part of what makes tank container logistics so unique is the multimodal nature. Being able to move a tank between different modes of transport easily and quickly means that our tanks can complete journeys more efficiently. A large part of the journeys our tanks make is long distance over land and sea.
