BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 30. Belgian Ahlers Logistics plans to construct an A-class warehouse in Kazakhstan's Almaty city, meeting all European standards, Johan Elzes, New Growth Business Unit Director at Ahlers Logistics, told Trend.
"Ahlers views Central Asia as a promising investment destination. In line with this vision, we plan to construct an A-class warehouse in Almaty that meets all European standards.
