DACHSER invests in the Netherlands

The groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of the DACHSER Logistics Center Rotterdam in Waddinxveen, South Holland, was held in mid-December. Thanks to the construction of a new warehouse, DACHSER can offer its customers even more storage capacity.

The new warehouse is expected to be operational as of October 2020 and offers 17,278 m2 of storage capacity. This expansion means that the logistics provider in Waddinxveen will then cover 93,000 m2, including more than 50,000 m2 of storage space. Around 30 new jobs will be created on the back of the expansion. “With the expansion, we want to create room for strong growth in contract logistics while also strengthening the synergy among the activities in warehousing and the distribution network. Innovation, digitalization, and investing in jobs and people are important pillars of our regional business strategy,” says Aat van der Meer, Managing Director DACHSER Benelux.

Strategically well situated

Thanks to the warehouse’s location at the logistics hotspot in Waddinxveen, DACHSER can offer its customers strategically well-situated storage space: close to the port of Rotterdam and on several major transport routes. The logistics center in Waddinxveen is well connected to the European market with 90 direct European groupage departures daily. With its close link to Air & Sea Logistics, DACHSER reaches all relevant markets worldwide from Waddinxveen.

DACHSER optimizes its pioneering rolling container for store deliveries

Bringing clothing to retail without wrinkles or creases is the ultimate achievement in the transportation of fashion items. To attain it, DACHSER Fashion Logistics has developed a special rolling container for hanging and flat garments. The Retail Box (formerly Roll&GOH) can be easily transported on the truck bed together with other palleted goods and is easy for the driver to roll into the receiving fashion shop. Having launched this container around five years ago, DACHSER has now further optimized it and offers two different-sized models: Retail Box classic and small. When making these enhancements, DACHSER also considered the box’s potential for other sectors in which the stores to be supplied are often located in city centers, including the cosmetics industry and, increasingly, the electronics sector. There are no plans, however, to use it for shipping food.
