On Friday, the 16th of May, Nippon Express officially moved into its new sustainable logistics building at Brucargo Central, in the very heart of the cargo area.
With this new facility, the logistics company is doubling its operational warehouse space, expanding from 5,000 to 10,000 square metres. Of this, 2,000 square metres are equipped for temperature-controlled storage, essential for safely handling time-sensitive goods like pharmaceuticals.
During the inauguration, Nippon Express also announced its choice for Brussels Airport as a European pharma gateway. This confirms Brussels Airport's status as leading European hub for pharma logistics.
The new building was constructed entirely with sustainable materials and methods by Brussels Airport Company and marks the first development in the broader redevelopment of the Brucargo Central area. Brucargo Central, located at the heart of the airport's cargo zone, will be fully completed in the coming months, covering a total area of 34,000 square metres.
