ABENA breaks ground on new regional warehouse
Wednesday, April 2, 2025
ABENA has officially broken ground on a new 12,000 m² warehouse in the Netherlands, marking a significant step in the company’s growth strategy. Set to open by the end of 2025, the new facility will enhance ABENA’s supply chain efficiency across Europe.
Expanding capacity to meet growing demands
The new warehouse, designed with operational growth and sustainability in mind, will feature between 7,000 and 12,000 pallet spaces. Strategically located in the Netherlands, the facility plays an important role in ensuring efficient and timely deliveries to ABENA’s growing customer base in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the western part of Germany.
“The new warehouse represents a strategic investment in ABENA’s continuous efforts to expand operational capacity across Europe”, says Claus Damgaard Johansen, Chief Operating Officer at ABENA.
“With increasing demand for quality products from professional and private customers within healthcare and other industries, this facility will be a central hub for incoming logistics from Asia. It will enable us to better serve our growing customer base and reduce lead times”, Claus Damgaard Johansen adds.
Growth strategy and strategic location
The location of the new warehouse is key to ABENA’s long-term growth strategy and to improve service levels.
“This investment reflects our commitment to evolving and adapting to the changing needs of our customers. The central location near the Ruhr district will ensure faster, more efficient deliveries and improve overall service and responsiveness to our customers and end-users across Western Europe”, says Preben Terp-Nielsen, Chairman of the Board of the ABENA Group.
“We are excited about the future and strengthening our vision to provide quality of life to users of our products – always with sustainability in mind”, says Preben Terp-Nielsen.
Sustainable Growth with BREEAM Certification
The construction of the new regional warehouse aligns with ABENA’s commitment to responsible business practices. Rob Basjes, CEO of ABENA’s subsidiary in the Netherlands, says:
“The new branch of ABENA Netherlands not only offers the necessary space that is in line with our organization's growth and future developments. We also try to build as consciously as possible. The new building will be BREEAM certified, meaning that we evaluate and improve sustainability throughout every stage, from procurement of materials to design, operations, and use. In this way, we reduce the impact on the environment and the surrounding area where possible. A valuable starting point for our plans”.
