DACHSER in the Netherlands puts new warehouse into operation
DACHSER has put a new warehouse into operation at its Dutch site in Waddinxveen near Rotterdam. With space for 10,000 pallets, the new 6,900 square meter storage facility increases the site's capacity to a total of 55,000 pallet spaces.
This warehouse is DACHSER's fourth building in the strategically favorably located industrial area of Waddinxveen. It is located opposite the warehouse for contract logistics, which opened at the end of 2020. It is therefore directly connected to the logistics provider's distribution network. Transports depart daily from Waddinxveen to all parts of Europe.
The new warehouse has three halls, an area for value-added services, two office spaces and ample parking. The building also has large windows that let in plenty of daylight. Solar panels with a production capacity of 400 kWp were installed on the roof. The two office areas are heated by a heat pump. In addition, both the offices and the three halls are fully equipped with LED lighting.
55,000 pallet spaces for contract logistics
Edwin Vermeulen, General Manager DACHSER Waddinxveen: "DACHSER opened its first branch in the west of the Netherlands in Waddinxveen in 2007. Back then, with just 3,000 square meters and 16 employees, nobody could have imagined that we would open our fourth logistics building here in 2024."
The new warehouse will increase the total storage capacity in Waddinxveen to 55,000 pallet spaces. With this expansion, DACHSER can continue to keep up with the increasing demand for storage space. "Our current customers know that DACHSER stands for stability and flexibility, and we want to maintain this in the future. With the expansion, we are equipped for further growth and can offer the service that our customers expect from us," says Edwin Vermeulen.
