Maersk is now providing fulfilment services for e-commerce companies at its first facility in France.
Located in one of Europe’s main logistics centres, the new warehouse is in Denain, Northern France. The warehouse itself is 75,000 square metres with a total surface area of 100,000 square metres.
“The go-live of this new facility marks a true milestone for Maersk in France, bringing our contract logistics and warehousing capabilities in this key European market to a completely new level,” said Regional Head of Maersk Contract Logistics in Europe, Michele Cohonner.
“We are delighted to now have our anchor customer, as we jointly develop solutions that make a difference both to them and to their end customers.”
The complex is in the immediate vicinity of the city of Lille which is easily accessible by 12 motorways and rail connections. The new facility is situated at the junction of the A2 and A21 motorways (109 km from Brussels and 198 km to Paris) and along the canal on the river Scheldt.
With the launch of the warehouse in Denain, Maersk is now offering warehousing and distribution services in 15 European countries besides its global network of warehouses. The previous facility opened in the summer of 2024 in Fredericia, Denmark.
