KLN Logistics Group Limited has opened a new 61,000 sq ft bonded logistics facility in the Netherlands (the ‘Hoofddorp facility’) by upgrading its Hoofddorp site to a new warehouse and processing facility, in order to boost its capabilities in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa (‘EMEA’) region and meet the rising demand for e-commerce capacity.
Riding on the growing e-commerce demand, the Hoofddorp facility has allocated 40 percent of its operations specifically for e-commerce shipments. With a dedicated warehouse and six loading docks, it enables KLN to provide customers with comprehensive solutions, including customs clearance, cross docking, bonded storage, pick and pack, e-fulfilment, and distribution.
Martin Stoekenbroek, Managing Director – Europe, Middle East and Africa of KLN, said, “This new facility will enhance our operational capacity in the Netherlands and the EMEA region, particularly in response to the recent growth in e-commerce, with up to 40 percent of our capacity dedicated to this emerging market. Our team is eager to transition to this new facility, which is easily accessible and equipped with state-of-the-art technology to improve the efficiency and quality of operations.”
The Hoofddorp facility is located less than 30 kilometres from Amsterdam and under 60 kilometres from Rotterdam, strategically positioned between Schiphol Airport, one of Europe’s busiest airports, and Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest seaport. It is also KLN’s newest addition in the Netherlands, complementing existing facilities in Rotterdam and Middelharnis.
