From this high-visibility location along the A3 motorway, the warehouse serves as many as one million parcels a year to 54 shops in five European countries.
On the 27th of October, Dutch retailer Albert Heijn opened its new Home Shop Center in Barendrecht (NL).

In addition, this gasless building operates almost completely on solar energy.
