Alexander Global Logistics (AGL), a member of the New Silk Road Network representing Germany, China, and the United Arab Emirates, officially launched its latest construction project with a groundbreaking ceremony on July 21st, 2025. The forward-looking facility is located at Grauwallring 5 in Bremerhaven, and the ceremony was joined by Mayor Melf Grantz and representatives from the local government, as AGL has set a milestone for Bremerhaven as a logistics hub.
Located near the container terminal, a state-of-the-art logistics facility is being built on a 30,000 m² site, featuring 18,000 m² of warehouse space and direct rail access. The facility is specifically designed for the handling and storage of pulp and paper products.
“With this investment of approximately 20 million euros, we are not only strengthening our position as a leading logistics provider for forest products but also reaffirming our long-term commitment to Bremerhaven as a business location,” emphasizes Alexander Hellmers, CEO of AGL. “The project will create over 20 new jobs and secure more than 10 existing ones, a strong signal for the future.”

The construction project combines economic growth with sustainable infrastructure: a 1.7-megawatt photovoltaic system will enable largely CO₂-neutral operations. The rail connection will reduce truck traffic and significantly improve the facility’s carbon footprint.
Mayor Melf Grantz highlighted the investment’s importance for the region: “Projects like this are key to Bremerhaven’s economic development. AGL is demonstrating how sustainable industrial policy and job creation can go hand in hand.” Bremerhaven’s economic development agency also sees the project as a groundbreaking initiative.

“The combination of logistics expertise, innovation, and sustainability is exemplary. This new facility reinforces Bremerhaven’s role as an international logistics hub,” explains Nils Schnorrenberger, Managing Director of BIS Bremerhaven Economic Development Company.
The new facility will complement the existing AGL site at Grauwallring 21, which already features 35,000 m² of warehouse space. With this expansion, AGL’s total logistics space in Bremerhaven will grow to over 260,000 m². This makes AGL one of the largest specialized handling facilities for paper, pulp, and forest products in Europe.
