Cold logistics company STEF has launched its commercial brand in the Netherlands at the opening of an 8,000 sqm extension to its logistics platform in Bodegraven. Both events indicate the Group is building up its presence in the Netherlands.
The opening ceremony, organized by Koen Torrekens, general manager STEF Benelux and Christian Dooms, managing director STEF Netherlands, took place in the presence of about one hundred 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 EUR8 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. The company developed its food transport and logistics activities by capitalizing on the know-how of Speksnijder Transport and Vers-Express, acquired respectively in 2014 and 2016, and on its minority interest taken in Netko company.
