De rijke group opens its brand new centralized warehouse in Barcelona!
It is a pleasure for us to announce that De Rijke Spain has agreed with the multinational GLP, - a benchmark in the development of logistics warehouses and distribution parks - to rent a warehouse, specifically in G-Park Santa Perpètua, Barcelona, where the new headquarters of our company in Spain will be established.
In recent times De Rijke Spain has improved its storage and handling capabilities, including temperature-controlled storage and specific handling of chemicals, raw materials and finished products. In addition, it has significantly increased its fleet of trucks and its human team, with 27 trucks and 36 employees in 2024.
Mike Schreuders (Country Manager De Rijke Spain): “The decision to place the operations in the G-Park represents a strategic opportunity that will translate into improvements for our clients. This will allow us to centralize operations in Spain, unite the two current warehouses and activities into one, and take advantage of synergies to optimize loading capacity, storage and logistics services, as well as promoting more agile and effective work. This new warehouse also gives the possibility of growing with plans to expand business lines and penetrate market niches that we have been exploring.”
The logistics warehouse has a surface of 14,348 m², which will allow us to increase storage capacity by more than 40%, increasing from 9000 to 13000 pallet locations.
We are going to make an investment to equip the warehouse with the highest standards in the storage of dangerous chemicals (APQ-10), including special bunkers with strict containment and security measurements.
The infrastructure has 15 loading docks and a free height of 11.7 meters. Its low occupancy (below 50%) and the great connectivity of the location (both land and sea routes), make this asset an ideal location for the type of operation we carry out.
A sustainable and future-proof warehouse
This warehouse has the international BREEAM Excellent certification, allowing us to maintain our commitment to sustainability and that of our clients.
Within our mission we have set the goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030. Therefore, we have integrated a sustainability strategy into the way we conduct our business operations. Hiring a BREEAM “Excellent” certified warehouse is in line with De Rijke Group values and goes hand in hand with our commitment to a sustainable future. The Ecovadis gold medal for De Rijke Northern Europe and other sustainability programs in which we participate (Green Mile, Lean and Green, etc.) show that we are making progress on this matter.
We seek to continuously improve the service for our customers in order to provide the highest logistics quality!
