DB Schenker is further expanding its role as a logistics service provider for the semiconductor industry.
The company plans to open a new contract logistics warehouse near Amsterdam, Netherlands. The site will cover a total of 18,000 square metres and will be a key step in strengthening the semiconductor industry in Europe.
“A steady microchip supply is important for Europe’s economic success, said Member of the Board for Contract Logistics, Niklas Wilmking. “The semiconductor industry is expanding rapidly, fostered by initiatives like the European Chips Act. This new DB Schenker facility underscores our commitment to growth and our dedication to optimising our customers’ operations, further strengthening the semiconductor logistics supply chain in Europe and globally.”
The warehouse has already entered its construction phase and a dedicated team is working with business partners to prepare the facility to open in Fall 2025.
The company will operate 12,000 square metres of the 18,000 square metre warehouse space. The company will offer services such as receiving, cross-docking, vendor managed inventory, return merchandise authorisation and shipping. The warehouse will also be equipped with unit load devices for air freight shipments.
