Dinteloord, 19 March 2025 – Logistics service provider Zijderlaan has completed and commissioned phase 1 of its new distribution centre in Dinteloord. This modern and sustainable 15,000 m² warehouse provides space for 28,750 pallets and has 26 loading docks. In the coming months, Zijderlaan will transfer its logistics operations in phases from its current distribution centre in Steenbergen, which will be officially handed over in June 2025.
EXPANSION AND FLEXIBILITY
The new distribution centre can respond flexibly and sustainably to far-reaching logistics developments. ‘This strategically located DC will enable us to grow along with our customers and better exploit new opportunities in the market,’ said general director Sabine Zijderlaan. ‘Not only in storage, but also in transport, our general cargo division can now further develop and expand.’
The premises are suitable for agro- and food-related storage and are equipped with narrow aisle racking for man-up forklifts, allowing efficient use of space. One part is conditioned, suitable for products to be stored to a maximum of 18 °C. For further expansion, construction phases 2 to 4 can be realised as required and possibly dedicated for customers.
SUSTAINABLE AND FUTURE-ORIENTED
Sustainability played an important role in the design and construction of the distribution centre, resulting in BREEAM Outstanding certification. Not only energy efficiency and carbon reduction were taken into account, but also ecological impact. On the site, bat boxes, hedgehog houses and shelters for insects, birds and frogs have been installed. Moreover, the building has been designed with plenty of natural light, contributing to a pleasant working environment for employees.
In addition, a charging site with six charging stations for electric trucks has been created, which is also accessible to third parties. ‘With solar energy generated by 3,500 solar panels, smart water use and minimal CO₂ emissions, we are actively contributing to a more sustainable future,’ Zijderlaan said.
With the commissioning of the new distribution centre, Zijderlaan takes an important step in its further development as an innovative, sustainable and reliable logistics partner. From June 2025, the DC in Dinteloord will be fully operational.
