This facility, set to be fully operational by mid to late 2025, will act as a central logistics hub. Situated on De Beitel industrial estate in Heerlen, the new distribution center will replace former industrial buildings. This facility will be dedicated to fulfilling omnichannel sales and is designed to manage all EU volumes efficiently within one automated site. The automation system, provided by TGW, will feature 675 Stingray shuttles, 34 shuttle storage aisles, 284,333 storage locations, and a capacity to store 4.8 million units.
