CEVA Logistics has announced the opening of a global distribution centre for industrial spare parts, consisting of warehousing space of 12,000 sqm and a yard of 10,000 sqm in Born, the Netherlands.

Centrally located in Europe, ideal for European distribution, CEVA will send a variety of parts to end customers and also to replenish local distribution centres worldwide. The site is located within an industrial estate, which has excellent transport links to both air and ocean ports, and road, rail and barge, with the potential for expansion inside and out.

This new location is near the existing CEVA multi user site in Born which offers customers sectors-specific expertise, as well as cost, efficiency and technology benefits through sharing the costs of health and safety, day-to-day operations and other associated operating costs.

The new centre features 28,000 bin locations and 3,000 sqm floor storage in the warehouse, and a yard of 4,000 racking locations and 4,500 sqm floor storage. The location offers full service, including inbound unloading, receipt and put away; outbound picking, packing and loading, and quality inspection.

“We are very proud to add another global spare parts facility and additional companies to our customer base. It emphasises our expertise in the spare parts business as well as our capability to provide global coverage for multinational companies.  We are committed to providing our customers the benefit of our years of industry best practices,” said Bart Beeks, managing director in the Benelux.
