DACHSER Constructs New Branch Office In The Netherlands
By Anuja Abraham
In Zevenaar, DACHSER is currently constructing one of its largest branch offices in Europe. The facility is expected to start operations this summer. Over the medium term DACHSER will thus create up to 35 new jobs with an investment volume of EUR 22 million.
The approx. 30,000-square-metre logistics complex is being built in multiple stages on a site of more than 83,000 square metres. “The volume at the Zevenaar location has soared in recent years and our revenue is also growing nicely,” says Aat van der Meer, managing director of DACHSER Netherlands. “As a result of this growth, we have outgrown our present site.”
DACHSER is thus further expanding its warehousing and contract logistics activities. The current site in Zevenaar will be moved once the new building has been completed.
“Construction of the new branch office will boost our presence in the Benelux countries,” says Michael Schilling, managing director DACHSER European Network Management & Logistics Systems. “This capacity expansion at Zevenaar will help improve our closely meshed logistics network, which extends across the whole of Europe.”
Intercontinental markets will also benefit from the new facility. In the Netherlands DACHSER offers integrated logistics concepts for air, sea, overland and warehousing services. The capacity expansion in Zevenaar will provide even closer links to global procurement and distribution markets.
