Ideal geographical location The FMCG centre is located on the Brussels Antwerp axis, close to two Belgium s major motorways. As such, it is ideally located for making and swift and daily deliveries. 85 % of all delivery addresses in the Netherlands is scarcely 150 km from the FMCG centre: Schenker NV can therefore guarantee deliveries throughout Benelux. Straight from Europe s beating industrial heartlands, Schenker NV offers their clients the opportunity to optimize their transportations from the European factories combined with the benefits of being able to bring return loads from nearby industries. The perfect building Schenker NV had already had over 30 years of experience in collecting, storing and distributing FMCG in Antwerp harbour, when it received a unique opportunity to integrate this experience and know-how in a new warehouse in 2005. This warehouse is tailor-made for fast moving consumer goods. The FMCG centre is a new state-of-the-art warehouse covering 85,000 m 2. It allows Schenker NV to offer clients flexible storage options in five different temperature zones ranging from -22 C to +18 C and ambient. The building complies with the most stringent environmental and quality standards and was designed especially to serve several FMCG clients.

Multi-client synergy Stepping into a multi-client project reduces general distribution costs and lowers the ecological footprint. Working together with other producers and sharing the lorries, fuel and time, allows our clients to optimise the consignment load of the lorries. It is also possible to share staff, equipment and warehouse space: this makes it possible to compensate one client s peak periods with another client s quiet periods. A multi-user approach also helps clients find smart solutions by enabling them to share experience and know-how. Schenker NV organises bi-monthly meetings to discuss developments and trends in the FMCG sector. Making use of Schenker s warehouse means sharing with major names in the FMCG industry. Making use of Schenker s warehouse also means that you can benefit from our experience with FMCG which stretches back to 1974. Our clients from back then are still our clients today! Multi-client since 1974! Storage and flow of goods management A storage capacity of >100.000 euro pallets carrying products from discerning clients requires a reliable and versatile warehouse management system. In Willebroek, Schenker NV uses a system that was developed in-house and adapted into a system that completely satisfies the needs of FMCG food and non-food clients. The system offers perfect traceability, ABC analyses of fast and more slow-moving goods, monitoring of expiry and sell-by dates, quarantine (upon the client s request), KPI measurements and much more; customised reports and web applications give clients real-time visibility so that they can monitor and improve their supply chain. A client-oriented service in a multi-client environment increases flexibility: multifunctional equipment and staff can be deployed where they are most needed. Each client has a permanent contact point for administration and a permanent contact point in the warehouse that is available at all times. Schenker NV manages his own fleet which can be flexibly used.
