Montea and Lekkerland signed an agreement to develop a new distribution centre of c. 50,000 m² built area at Logistiek Park A12 in Waddinxveen. At this park, a sustainable state-of-the-art cooling and freezing distribution centre will be developed for Lekkerland. Among other things, the roof will be used for the installation of solar panels, which, together with the adjacent development completed in 2022, will create a roof area of 80,000m², soon generating an amount of electricity equal to the needs of 3,200 households.
“We are busy designing the internal logistics processes, which are largely supported by voice- and pick to light picking”, said John van den Berg, Director of Operations Lekkerland Nederland.
With the development of a large new distribution centre, Lekkerland Nederland is releasing an efficient and orderly logistics operation. According to John van den Berg, this will prepare Lekkerland for future growth and to realise its logistics sustainability goals further.
Cedric Montanus, Director Montea Nederland: "We are delighted to further expand our project at such a strategic location, right in the heart for Retail logistics, to a total development of around 100,000m². A sustainable development like this substantiates our policy of making the portfolio more sustainable. We do this in a future-proof way, which forms the basis of a long-term partnership between Montea and Lekkerland."
