ART STORAGE

At BRANDL we operate fine art warehouses in various sites in Germany (Berlin, Cologne, Munich). As well BRANDL had been one of the initial partners for the Luxembourg Freeport. Recently we developed another new concept and are now offering a „State of the Art“ warehouse in The Hague and Amsterdam, Willebroek/Antwerp, Paris, Copenhague and Stockholm in cooperation with the highly specialized company HIZKIA.

WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

We have a Warehouse Management System (WMS) to provide inventory of your collection. This proves to be an ideal way of managing your collection. We will add a unique barcode or QR-Code label to your works of art and can offer you an overview of your collection when requested.

CLIMATE TYPES

An appropriate climate is essential to store your valuable items with due care and attention.
