With Europe’s e-commerce market growing alongside the spread of COVID-19 infections, momentum is building behind moves to relocate, consolidate and expand distribution centres, especially for apparel industry customers, Nippon Express said in a press release.
Adjacent to the terminal port for barge transport from the port of Antwerp, the new centre is in a location connecting railway terminals serving other European destinations with Liege Airport, securing a geographical advantage at the heart of a European logistics network encompassed by a mass-consumption area comprising Germany, the Netherlands and France. A variety of energy-saving equipment (solar and wind power generators, water-circulating systems, etc) has been introduced to help achieve carbon neutrality, and the centre intends to acquire BRE Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) certification in future.
The NX group will be stepping up its efforts on behalf of the apparel industry, positioned as a priority industry in its business plan, and will continue expanding its logistics functions in Europe to assist customers in developing their business activities.
