Said a spokesperson: “The centre provides integrated logistics operations for standard, dangerous or temperature-controlled goods including time critical services for urgent shipments.
“Its close proximity to Schiphol Airport will provide fast and efficient inbound and outbound connections, with the additional benefit of being close to Amsterdam and Rotterdam Ocean Ports.
