Chewing gum, sweets, and tooth paste \u2013 three totally different items. And yet, they have one thing in common: they can all contain xylitol. In June, Militzer & M\u00fcnch transported this food additive from Dezhou in China to Pozna\u0144 in Poland.<\/b><\/p>\n

Sweet and fresh on the tongue \u2013 that\u2019s what xylitol tastes like. The chemical is used by the ton in the food industry, where it goes by the code E 967. Militzer & M\u00fcnch\u2019s order was to transport powdered xylitol from the production site in China to a food manufacturer\u2019s plant in Poland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe developed a highly effective, multi-modal transport chain for this project.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For this project, the staff of Militzer & M\u00fcnch in China arranged the road and rail transport from Dezhou to Malaszewicze, the central rail trans-shipment hub in Poland. The longest part of the journey was done by rail: the 25 sealed containers were transported on board seven trains. In Malaszewicze the team of Militzer & M\u00fcnch Poland took over. The bonded containers were hauled to the destination in Pozna\u0144 by road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe developed a highly effective, multi-modal transport chain for this project\u201d, says Glenn Bai, Managing Director Militzer & M\u00fcnch China. \u201cA combination of road and rail transports is optimal for the leg between China and Poland. Thus, the transit time was only 20 days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Safety specifications implemented<\/p>\n

<\/b>Since xylitol is a chemical substance, strict safety regulations must be observed. Especially owing to the detailed SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), the cooperation between the Polish and the Chinese teams was exemplary. The team at the Qingdao branch in China had provided the material safety data sheet SOP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cooperation was perfect\u201d, says Glenn Bai. \u201cWe are proud we succeeded in developing our rail service and our product portfolio with this first transport ex Dezhou.\u201d So far, Militzer & M\u00fcnch China had concentrated on full container load (FCL) transports from Zhengzhou and less than container load (LCL) transports from Yiwu. Right now, Eric Wang, Rail Freight Director M&M China, is working on additional destinations ex Wuhan, Chongqing, Zhengzhou and most recently also ex Dalian in Northeast China.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Xylitol \u2013 low calorie and tooth-friendly<\/h3>\n

Xylitol is mostly used in the food industry; its code is E 967. It serves as a naturally occurring sugar substitute that can be produced in trees, plants, vegetables, fruits, but also in humans via their sugar metabolism. Xylitol is used, among others, in toothpaste for caries prophylaxis. German chemist Emil Fischer discovered xylitol in the late 19th century. He later won a Nobel Prize in chemistry for his research in the field of sugar chemistry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
