In Zevenaar, Netherlands, Dachser is currently constructing one of its largest branch offices in Europe. The facility is expected to start operations this summer.

    The 30,000 sq m logistics complex is being built in multiple stages on a site of more than 83,000 sq m.

    “The volume at the Zevenaar location has soared in recent years and our revenue is also growing nicely,” said Aat van der Meer, managing director of Dachser Netherlands. “As a result of this growth, we have outgrown our present site.”

    Dachser is further expanding its warehousing and contract logistics activities. The current site in Zevenaar will be moved once the new building has been completed.

    The first construction phase encompasses a cross dock with over 7,200 sq m and 82 bays as well as a three-storey office building with almost 3,000 sq m. The expansion of the premises will include the construction of an additional 3,300-sq m cross dock and a warehouse of more than 16,000 sq m.

    “Construction of the new branch office will boost our presence in the Benelux countries,” said 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.”
