Leschaco, a global logistics service provider, announces the opening of a central warehouse in Moerdijk, Netherlands, by early April 2024. The new chemical logistics center in Moerdijk is strategically located between the heavily trafficked ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, providing optimal access to the European hinterland, ensuring efficient transport of customer products in terms of cost, speed, accessibility, and frequency.
(Bremen/Moerdijk) Leschaco’s new facility in Moerdijk features optimal multimodal transport connections, including proximity to major seaports and important waterways such as the Rhine and Maas.
Covering an area of 29,000 square meters, the warehouse has space for approximately 45,000 pallets in five sections. Four sections are specifically equipped with CO2 extinguishing systems for the safe storage of hazardous goods, while the fifth section is equipped with ESFR sprinklers for general cargo.
Constantin Conrad, CEO of the Leschaco Group, stated: “We are pleased to further expand Leschaco’s presence in contract logistics with the opening of our latest hazardous goods warehouse. This strategic facility in Europe allows us to meet the growing demand of our global customers in the region and underscores our commitment to providing our customers with innovative and tailored supply chain solutions.”
Sebastian Haebler, Head of Global Contract Logistics at Leschaco, emphasized the importance of the warehouse in Moerdijk: “The opening of our latest facility in Moerdijk is another milestone in Leschaco’s commitment to delivering top-notch solutions for our customers’ logistical challenges. This strategically located warehouse enables us to support our global customers across various industries such as chemicals, healthcare, automotive, industrial materials, and consumer goods individually.”
Consideration of Sustainability Requirements
In addition to its operational capabilities, the new ADR warehouse in Moerdijk also serves as an example of commitment to sustainability. The facility is equipped with solar panels on the roof that cover part of its electricity needs and includes various eco-friendly measures, such as electric underfloor heating, LED lighting, and the highest building standards for insulation. Furthermore, the proximity to the port of Moerdijk allows for environmentally friendly transport options such as inland shipping and rail, along with E-charging stations for electric vehicles.
