Your logistics building: a multifunctional space

'Time is money’ in the world of logistics. For a distribution centre or logistics build, Willy Naessens Industrial Buildings always starts with a thorough project study. We produce and maintain our own building elements, which results in adherence to a tight schedule. Result? We can finish our logistic and distribution centre builds in record speed.

Building a prefabricated concrete distribution centre

Prefabricated concrete usage has lots of advantages in new distribution centre builds in the logistics sector. Besides the rapid building speed - and faster project lead time - concrete is a solid, sustainable, theft resistant and fire safe material.

Sustainability has recently become much more important. The available building land is becoming more scarce, which leads us to looking towards new development forms. We’re committed to building your warehouse or storage space smarter. High rise is an excellent solution. This technique is being implemented in the logistics and distribution industry more often.

Cross-dock system: the logistic solution

More and more logistics companies are choosing a cross-dock system. Mostly due to the rise in package deliveries. For this type of logistic method, we’ll build in a more rectangular shape. The logistics building needs to shift goods from one vehicle to the next. A lot of these buildings are in urban peripheral areas to then go on to drive the “last mile.”

A strategic location and a rising automation grade also affect the type of distribution centre needed. Every business is looking for that optimal balance between security and growth, ambition and stability. An effective logistics and distribution centre rises or falls with the efficiency of support buildings. There, we need to account for future growth possibilities for your distribution or storage spaces. Building a cross-dock system might be the ideal solution for your logistics problem.
