Trailer OEM, Kässbohrer has strengthened its long-standing cooperation with Samat International AB with the delivery of five 34 m³ K.STC34 chemical tankers.
The new shipment will support Samat’s growing hazardous goods transport business in Sweden.
Headquartered in France and operating in more than ten European countries, Samat Group is recognised for its expertise in the safe transport and handling of liquid chemicals, hydrocarbons, LPG, and other sensitive liquid goods.
Its services include bulk tank and tank-container transport, tank cleaning, and specialised logistics solutions for demanding industrial supply chains.
The handover took place in Helsingborg with the participation of Samat’s Operations Manager, Jon Nilsson, its Managing Director, Daniel Hauffe, and Kässbohrer Key Account Manager, Mehmet Önen.
Samat International AB emphasised the importance of using reliable, lightweight, and operationally adaptable equipment in its ADR-compliant transport activities.
In its shipping operations, the company values trailer features, such as low tare weight, effective insulation and heating systems for temperature-sensitive chemical goods, and the ability to configure compartment layouts and discharge systems according to specific operational needs.
Samat International AB Operations Manager, Jon Nilsson, said the company was expanding its fleet in Sweden with the five new Kässbohrer chemical tankers.
“Across our wider operations, including Poland and France, Kässbohrer tankers and silos have consistently supported our activities with reliable and predictable performance in our daily hazardous goods transport operations,” he said.
“Our long-term operational experience has made continuing our investment in Kässbohrer the clear choice.
“For ADR transport, payload maximisation is essential. Kässbohrer’s chemical tankers offer a low tare weight that enables efficient planning, higher productivity, and cost-effective operation while meeting all safety and compliance requirements.
“The insulation and stainless-steel heating channels are equally important, as they ensure temperature stability when transporting different chemical products in varying climate conditions.
The ability to specify the correct configuration, such as the 34 m³ four-compartment layout and right-side separate discharge system delivered for our Sweden fleet, ensures that the tankers match our operational needs precisely.
“Kässbohrer understands these requirements and delivers engineering solutions that give us confidence in the long-term performance of our fleet.”
Kässbohrer Key Account Manager, Mehmet Önen, highlighted the significance of the long-standing cooperation with Samat International AB.
“We are proud to support Samat International AB, a leading operator in the transport of hazardous and sensitive goods and a valued partner since 2012.
“Their decision to expand their fleet with our new chemical tankers reflects the trust established over many years of collaboration.”
Kässbohrer develops its tanker series specifically for the demanding requirements of dangerous goods transport, where safety, reliability, and operational efficiencies are critical.
It manufactures its tankers in high-capacity production facilities using premium materials, robotic welding technologies, and TÜV- and DEKRA-certified welders.
Each tanker undergoes a comprehensive validation program, including 1 million km durability testing, ensuring long-lasting and proven performance for ADR-compliant operations.
“Our chemical tanker series is engineered with tare weights starting from 6,500 kg to support efficient and cost-effective ADR-compliant operations,” said Önen.
“This advantage contributes directly to better payload management and more effective operational planning while meeting all safety and regulatory standards.”
To meet the needs of operators working across different climates and transporting various chemical products, Kässbohrer offers several insulation configurations.
These include glass wool in multiple thicknesses, stainless steel, aluminium, or GRP claddings, with construction supported by stainless steel insulation rings and FRP end domes.
Stainless steel heating channels maintain temperature stability throughout transport. Operators can also select from different discharge layouts to align the tanker with their specific workflows.
For Samat International AB, the tankers delivered to the Sweden fleet feature:
- 34 m³ capacity.
- Four-compartment layout selected from two- to four-compartment options.
- 100 mmglass wool insulation.
- Stainless-steel tank body.
- Right-side separate discharge system providing individual discharge outlets for each compartment.
These specifications were arranged to support effective planning and enhanced operational performance in Samat’s ADR chemical transport activities.
“Together with the tankers and silos already operating in Samat’s French and Polish fleets, these new K.STC 34 vehicles further strengthen our partnership in hazardous and sensitive goods transport,” said Önen.
He thanked Messrs Nilsson and Hauffe, and the Samat International AB team, for their trust in Kässbohrer, saying the company looked forward to continuing the relationship.
