Netherlands Launch Grows STEF Presence in Northern Europe

Cold logistics specialist STEF has launched its commercial brand in the Netherlands at the opening of an 8,000 m2 extension to its logistics platform in Bodegraven.

The opening ceremony, organized by Koen Torrekens, General Manager STEF Benelux and Christian Dooms, Managing Director STEF Netherlands, took place in the presence of 100 national and international clients from the agrifood industry. Group Chairman Francis Lemor, CEO Jean-Pierre Sancier and Deputy CEOs Serge Capitaine and Stanislas Lemor were on hand for the occasion.

The STEF Bodegraven site, located between Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht in the middle of the country’s major food consumption area, doubled its capacity thanks to this new €8 million investment. As a result, this platform is now the main STEF hub for transport and logistics in the Netherlands.

STEF has ramped up its investments and business activities in the Netherlands, now grouped under a single commercial brand, marking a decisive new phase of the Group’s expansion in Northern Europe. STEF Nederland is designed to offer an efficient supply chain to serve customers in the agrifood industry, distribution and out-of-home catering.

To meet its objectives, the company can mobilize a staff of 350 in the Netherlands and nearly 20,000 m2 of warehousing and cross-docking space in three locations:
• Raalte (northeast): a 2,500-m2 transport and logistics facility for chilled products (+2 / +4°C)
• Eindhoven (southeast): a 2,000-m2 transport facility for chilled products (+2 / +4°C)
• Bodegraven (central): a 14,500-m2 transport and logistics platform for chilled and frozen products.
