Wolff in Ukraine

Streif Baulogistik - a subsidiary of Hochtief - and Wolffkran yesterday signed an exclusive marketing agreement for the Ukranian market with an aim to set up a hire fleet in the Ukraine.

Wolffkran is hoping to tap into the construction service company's extensive network which will hire out its cranes.

“As with our partner HTC in England, we are opening up a new market not by establishing a branch of our own, but by collaboration with a service provider operating on an international scale”, says Dr. Peter Schiefer, managing partner of Wolffkran. “In choosing Streif Baulogistik, we are backing a leading construction machinery hire company. In 1994 we collaborated very effectively with Hochtief and Streif Baulogistik on the construction of the Commerzbank in Frankfurt am Main. Since 2005 we have also been very successfully working with both companies on the terminal extension at Vienna airport. A joint endeavour in Ukraine will strengthen our well established partnership."

Streif Baulogistik provides construction site and other related infrastructure and logistic services.
“We would like to further expand our successful hire business in the Ukraine. We are therefore adding top quality tower cranes to our fleet of cranes, initially for hire and later for sale," says Thorsten Wiesendorfer, managing director of Streif Baulogistik. “Both partners are committed in pioneering work on the Ukrainian market with their crane marketing project.
Customers benefit from having cranes and all accompanying logistic services for their construction projects provided by one supplier.”


Streif Baulogistik has ten branch offices in Germany. The company has also been working in Eastern Europe for many years and has four branches in Poland alone. It has proved its credentials on many important projects, amongst which are involvement in the construction of the Glendoe hydroelectric power plant in the Scottish Highlands, new work at Vienna airport and most recently the construction of the Rondo 1 office tower in Warsaw.
