Regional & Local
Present at the western hub: From Cologne/Hürth via Düsseldorf to the entire Ruhr region.
Our location map shows the optimal connectivity of BKD Service at the Cologne hub. From our headquarters in Kürten near Cologne, we can reach the Lanxess Arena and Koelnmesse in under 35 minutes on average. Thanks to our immediate proximity to the A1, A3, and A4 motorways, we cover the entire Rhineland and the Ruhr area within one hour. For our customers in event logistics, this means: the shortest response times for overnight runs, urgent trade fair replenishment deliveries, or last-minute tour adjustments across North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
Experience you can trust in the event industry.
For many years, we at BKD Service have supported national and international productions through their day-to-day logistics operations. What began as a specialist service provider is now a strong partner for renowned agencies and artist tours.
This structure gives you the assurance that we are always there for you, even in the event of short-notice capacity changes. Our experience in handling sensitive equipment is a major advantage for the professional, on-time execution of your project.
Long-standing expertise
Many years of experience in tour support and professional trade fair logistics.
When can I start using the BKD Service?
Our support is available to you at any time. Whether for long-term planned trade fair transport or short-notice tour requests, we act efficiently and quickly, without red tape. This means we can get started at short notice at any time to secure your production immediately.
How flexible is dispatch planning at BKD?
You decide this entirely according to your needs. Whether we support you with a one-off delivery to Koelnmesse or take over the complete logistics of a European tour, we adapt flexibly to your tour schedule or trade fair plan.
Why is a local partner in the Cologne area so important?
A regional partner such as BKD guarantees short distances and fast response times in the event of unforeseen issues. We know the access routes to the Lanxess Arena and Koelnmesse inside out. This proximity creates a level of reliability that nationwide forwarding companies often cannot provide.
Does BKD have specialized equipment for the transport of sensitive event technology?
Absolutely. Our fleet consists of modern, air-suspended mega box trucks, specially equipped for vibration-free handling of lighting, sound and video equipment. Integrated ramp systems and specialized securing equipment guarantee dust-free and secure transport of your sensitive backline or media equipment.
Why is a specialized event logistics provider in the Cologne/Bonn region more advantageous than a standard freight forwarder?
Event logistics is a time-critical business. Unlike standard freight forwarders, BKD specializes in just-in-time deliveries and challenging loading and unloading situations (load-ins). Our drivers know the specific access routes and guidelines of Cologne venues, which minimizes time lost due to misdirection or waiting times.
