Walker Logistics, a leading UK-based third-party logistics provider, has taken a significant step in its international growth strategy with the opening of a new state-of-the-art warehouse in the Netherlands and a partnership with NRI in America.
The facility, located near the major logistics hub of Rotterdam, positions Walker Logistics at the heart of European commerce, offering enhanced access to continental markets and faster, more efficient service for its growing client base.
The 120,000-square-foot distribution centre marks Walker’s first physical presence in mainland Europe, a move driven by increasing customer demand for scalable, cross-border fulfilment solutions post-Brexit. Strategically situated to leverage the Netherlands’ world-class infrastructure and transport links, the new warehouse is designed to support a wide range of sectors including e-commerce, retail, healthcare, and consumer goods.
William Walker, Managing Director at Walker Logistics, said:
Opening this facility is a natural progression for our business. It not only strengthens our operational capabilities across Europe but also aligns with our clients’ need for seamless, integrated logistics solutions that can flex with market demands.
The warehouse features advanced automation, high-density racking, and sophisticated warehouse management systems (WMS), ensuring accurate inventory control, real-time order tracking, and rapid despatch. Walker’s clients will benefit from shorter delivery lead times, reduced shipping costs, and streamlined customs handling, thanks to the Netherlands’ efficient trade networks and favourable regulatory environment.
Sustainability has also been central to the development of the new site. The facility operates on renewable energy, incorporates energy-efficient lighting and heating, and is part of Walker Logistics’ wider commitment to achieving carbon neutrality across its operations by 2030.
This expansion reflects the company’s broader vision of becoming a truly global logistics partner. With the Netherlands warehouse fully operational, Walker Logistics is now ideally placed to serve both UK and EU markets from within, offering its clients the agility and responsiveness needed to compete in today’s fast-moving global economy.
As international trade continues to evolve, Walker Logistics’ investment in European infrastructure demonstrates its commitment to innovation, customer service, and long-term growth.
