Geodis has opened a 48,000 sqm logistics campus in northern France to provide e-commerce logistics services for retail and textile sector customers.
A team of 300 employees are working at the multi-user campus in Douvrin, Hauts de France, where more than three million e-commerce orders will be handled yearly.
Geodis said it provides its partners with comprehensive solutions and services for the reception and storage of goods, order preparation and flow management. Quality control services based on customer needs, such as the quality control of supplier components or customization and gift packaging for e-commerce customers are also offered.
“This new campus is part of the modernization of our warehousing infrastructure. It strengthens our position in Northern France and reinforces our position as a leading logistics provider of choice for retail and e-commerce activities,” said Frédéric Pasqual, Geodis Executive Vice President, Contract Logistics France.
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 million 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.
