DB Schenker to launch new warehouse for semiconductors in the Netherlands

Essen, October 10, 2024 – DB Schenker is further expanding its role as a leading 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 meters and will be a key step in strengthening the semiconductor industry in Europe. 

Niklas Wilmking, Member of the Board for Contract Logistics at DB Schenker: “A steady microchip supply is important for Europe's economic success. 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 optimizing our customers' operations, further strengthening the semiconductor logistics supply chain in Europe and globally.” 

The warehouse has already entered its construction phase. A dedicated DB Schenker team is working with business partners to prepare the facility to open in Fall 2025.
