DSV Solutions, a supplier of transport and logistics services, has selected Macquarie Goodman European Logistics (formerly Eurinpro), to develop a 49,000 m2 distribution centre in the Dutch city of Venlo. Construction is scheduled to start in July and end in March 2008.
The distribution centre will include 37,000 m2 of warehouse space, an 8,000 m2 production area for Value Added Logistics (VAL), a 4,000 m2 mezzanine and over 1,000 m2 of office space. A wide variety of customers will use the facility including several high-end electronics companies, a manufacturer of special furniture and a shoe company. DSV is best known in the Netherlands for its acquisition of Dutch logistics service provider Frans Maas in 2006. The company has over 370 facilities in Europe, 31 of which are in the Netherlands.
'A key reason for selecting Macquarie Goodman European Logistics for this important project was their flexibility and expertise in developing tailor made warehouses,' said Mr Rien van der Heuvel, director logistics operations for DSV Solutions.
