Tested and validated first hand, K.SWAU C provides lower cost in operations with stowing and freight opportunity.

We will operate in Italy with 35 of them, in Belgium with 9 of them and in Germany with 6 of them. The support from sales and after sales teams make it easy and efficient to work with Kässbohrer.
