Offering more than twice the space of the company's existing facility,this new warehouse is being erected in Schiphol Trade Park,about 7 kilometers southwest of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol,one of Europe's key hub airports,to cope with steadily rising air cargo volume.

Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification,a standard for the proper distribution of pharmaceuticals,will be sought for the new warehouse to enhance NE Nederland's distribution network for the pharmaceutical sector,which has been stipulated as a priority industry in the Nippon Express Group Management Plan's "Growth Strategy for Core Businesses." In anticipation of dealing with semiconductor-related equipment and other heavy or long-length cargo,a ULD handling system will be introduced to enable the facility to process 20-foot pallets. The roof will be outfitted with a 60m x 55m solar panel array to make the facility more eco-friendly.
