GEODIS expands its footprints with new center and office in Belgium

GEODIS, a France-headquartered global transport and logistics services provider announces a new sorting center in Schoten, near Antwerp, as well as a new office within the airport of Liege. The first will facilitate the expansion of one of its largest international e-commerce customers into the Belgian market. The second is intended to reinforce GEODIS' e-commerce footprint in Europe.

In Schoten, the new 6300 m2 sorting center will host between 100 to 150 express trucks per day. In order to process up to 20,000 parcels daily (140,000 per week) and ensure the fastest possible delivery times, the facility will operate 24/7.

"For our customers, this means access to more than 250 million consumers in less than a day by road, also via barge connections from Liege to Antwerp, Rotterdam and on to the Rhine; as well as through air and rail connectivity with China from Zhengzhou, Yiwu and Chengdu," says Mark van den Assem, managing director of GEODIS for Benelux.
