Tigers builds new hub in Rotterdam
Tigers is building a new mega hub facility in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, as global customer demand and the e-commerce sector continue to grow. The multi-million-Euro mega hub is currently under construction and is scheduled to be officially opened in April 2020.
“Rotterdam is the biggest port in Europe and a key gateway to the continent for the supply chain, which is why Tigers has been based there for the past 20 years,” said Shahar Ayash, managing director – UK and Europe, Tigers.
“The hub will be an advanced omni-channel fulfilment centre and Tigers’ biggest single operation in Europe, which is being built with longevity and sustainability in mind. E-commerce has also been a huge factor in this development with 70% of orders processed in Rotterdam related to the e-commerce sector, which is set for even further future growth.” The new mega hub will replace Tigers’ existing Rotterdam facility and will be more than 52,000 sqm, have 60,000 pallet positions and 550,000 bin locations.
