New Central Office for Benelux market

On the 24th of June SSI SCHAEFER’s new Benelux central office in Oosterhout, Netherlands, officially opened its doors to the public. The SSI SCHAEFER Group is the world’s leading provider of modular warehousing and logistics solutions. The new office accommodates employees from multiple departments from both, Belgium and Netherlands, and is the new Hub of SSI SCHAEFER Benelux.

SSI SCHAEFER has been on the Dutch and Belgian market for more than thirty-five years. The next strategic move for the company's development was to open a new modern facility that would serve the needs of the employees and customers of the local branch.

During the official opening, Peter Pompen, Managing Director of Benelux, stated: “We are happy to welcome you all to the new Benelux central office. SSI SCHAEFER has had a long but rewarding journey from a small local branch that opened in 1987 with only a hand full of people to being a home for more than seventy professionals.”

Steffen Bersch, CEO of the SSI SCHAEFER Group, along with senior executives from the global organization and regional offices attended the event to join the celebration and congratulate their colleagues on the new milestone. Steffen Bersch stated: “Creative teamwork is needed to develop modern Intralogistics 4.0 solutions for our customers. With the new offices and the Training & Experience centre, the prerequisites for agile working in a modern corporate culture have been created here in Oosterhout.”

The opening was followed by a tour around the new office and the new customer Training & Experience centre. During this festive ceremony, the audience had a chance to get acquainted with the in-house equipment exhibition and SSI SCHAEFER’s remarkable history facts. The purpose of the experience centre is to enable customers of small and medium-sized enterprises to see, evaluate and even try out SSI SCHAEFER’s products. The test room features smart and conventional storage solutions: PR 600 for pallet storage, R 3000 shelving for cartons and totes and cantilever racking for long or heavy goods. The exhibition also included SSI LOGIMAT® Vertical Lift Module and Automated Guided Vehicle WEASEL®.

SSI SCHAEFER Benelux also thanks the strategic partners who were able to attend the opening.

Daan van Iersel, Warehouse Manager, NSK Europe: "Our company is continuously working on optimising our logistics processes. We have been a customer of SSI SCHAEFER for many years and know the people and the possibilities. It's really great to be able to meet in this setting. With the new office building and the in-house Training & Experience Center, they are showing what they can do and why we are working with them. It's great to see these developments and definitely worth a visit."

In the future, the new Training & Experience centre will be available to interested companies who would like to experience SSI SCHAEFER's products and systems live in a tour.
