Integrated logistics company Maersk has opened its first warehouse in France that will provide fulfillment services for one of the world’s leading e-commerce companies.
The 75,000m2 facility, located at GLP Park Denain – one of Europe’s main logistics centers, is BREEAM Very Good certified and includes 85 doors, with separate circulation for heavy goods and light vehicles. It is equipped with the AutoDock automated docking system.
Michele Cohonner, regional head of Maersk Contract Logistics in Europe, said, “The go-live of this new facility marks a true milestone for Maersk in France, bringing our contract logistics and warehousing capabilities in this key European market to a completely new level. We are delighted to now have our anchor customer, as we jointly develop solutions that make a difference both to them and to their end customers.”
With the new Denain warehouse, Maersk now offers warehousing and distribution services in 15 European countries alongside its global network of warehouses.
