TNT Express Germany has started operating its new €3.7 million logistics centre at Rostock airportin northern Germany after a five-month construction period.
The new facility at the Airpark Laage Süd near Rostock replaces the previous TNT depot,located about 17 km away in Güstrow, which had been in operation since 1996.
Built on a 12,000 sqm area, the logistics centre is equipped with a state-of-the-art sortingfacility and 920 sqm office space which is considerably larger than the 200 sqm office area at theprevious depot.
The operative core of the new building is the 1,100 sqm transfer station which is nearly thedouble size of the previous one. The latest sorting facility enables a further reduction in transittimes for customers’ transport shipments, TNT said in a statement.
Lothar Geglin, TNT Express depot manager at the rural district of Güstrow, is looking forwardto operations at the new site: “At the Airpark, we have an optimal connection to the trafficnetwork. Therefore we can guarantee even faster and more efficient deliveries.”
