New Northern France Logistics Campus for Global 3PL
20th June 2019
France-based global 3PL Geodis has opened its new logistics campus in Douvrin, Hauts de France. A team of 300 employees will be mobilised to primarily serve retail and textile customers, in this new 48,000 sqm site.
At this new multi-user installation, partners will be provided with services based on customer needs, such as the quality control of supplier components or customisation and gift packaging for e-commerce customers are also offered.
The site is located near the relevant regional distribution hubs and is equipped with new state-of-the art technology such as corrugators, pick-to-light equipment, automated conveyors, and others. More than €3 M has been invested in equipping this campus which is classified as lower-tier according to the EU’s Seveso Directive, allowing Geodis to manage seasonality and specificities of regulated products. More than three million e-commerce orders will be handled yearly.
