Maersk’s first warehouse in France now fully operational serving a global e-commerce customer
Denain/France – With the recent launch of operations at the new warehouse in Denain in Northern France, Maersk is now providing fulfilment services for one of the world’s leading e-commerce companies at a facility strategically located in one of Europe's main logistics centres.
The Maersk warehouse of 75,000 m2, the first one the company has launched in France, is part of GLP Park Denain (with total surface area of about 100,000 m2) and now fully operational. The complex is in the immediate vicinity of the city of Lille in Hauts-de-France, 3rd French region in terms of logistics employment, with approximately half a million inhabitants residing within less than 30 minutes from the site and easily accessible by 12 motorways and rail connections. The new facility is situated at the junction of the A2 and A21 motorways (109 km from Brussels and 198 km to Paris) and along the canal on the river Scheldt (Grand Canal de l’Escaut).
The go-live of this new facility marks a true milestone for Maersk in France, bringing our contract logistics and warehousing capabilities in this key European market to a completely new level. We are delighted to now have our anchor customer, as we jointly develop solutions that make a difference both to them and to their end customers.
The new warehouse, which has received BREEAM Very Good certification, is equipped with 85 doors, has beam height of 11.40 metres, floor load of 5 t/m² and a truck yard of 35 m. The facility has separate circulation for heavy goods and light vehicles and is equipped with Autodocks (automated docking system).
With the go-live of the warehouse in Denain, Maersk is now offering warehousing and distribution services in 15 European countries besides its global network of warehouses. The previous facility opened in the summer of 2024 in Fredericia, Denmark.
We are proud to welcome such a major customer as Maersk to GLP Park Denain. This lease agreement further reinforces our commitment to investing in the Hauts-de-France region, an area we know well as it represents nearly a third of our portfolio in France.
