Blog Joke's Blog Middlegate Europe further expands activities The Middlegate Europe logistics group continues to invest. The company is investing in expanding the storage capacity at its sites in Zeebrugge and Hull. CEO Kim Notman: “At the same time, we are expanding our operating radius with new destinations throughout Europe. Our strategy to invest in quality and value-added services is valued by the customer. As a result, we were recently able to win new, long-term contracts for customers from Great Britain and Egypt. ” Middlegate Europe is a European leader in transport and logistics. The company has been active for more than 25 years and has offices in Zeebrugge, Liège airport and in Hull (UK). As a full-service provider, Middlegate Europe is responsible for transport and distribution as well as groupage, storage and logistics services. The company has 124 employees and a turnover of 31 million euros. New storage capacity Attracting new customers from the United Kingdom necessitated an expansion of the Middlegate site in Zeebrugge. “We play on the British market to store goods in Zeebrugge and organize distribution from there. That turns out to be a success. We are therefore investing in an extension of our warehouses by a total of 4,000 square meters, which will be available by spring 2015, ”says Kim Notman. “We can therefore offer a heated warehouse to store products at a temperature that always remains between 15 and 20 degrees. This offers opportunities for new services for the food industry. ” There will also be 6,000 m2 of additional storage capacity at the Hull site. Notman: “We entered into a long-term contract with an Italian customer who ships their products from Dubai, Egypt and Italy directly to our warehouse in Kingston-upon-Hull. From this location we now also provide nationwide distribution throughout the United Kingdom. This allows us to deliver to cities the same day or within 24 hours at the most. ” Wider geographic reach Middlegate Europe thus adds logistics and national distribution to its services in Great Britain. “And we are going to grow even further in the field of logistics and in services with added value,” says Kim Notman. “Until recently, as a logistics group, we specialized in distribution within 24 and 48 hours from Zeebrugge to the United Kingdom and the Benelux. We have further expanded our geographic region and now also offer France, Ireland, Scandinavia and Spain from Zeebrugge. The central location of this port, combined with the many departures from here, are an absolute asset for the logistics activities of our customers. ” --- end of message --- For more information or interviews, please contact Kim Notman: 050 / 55.70.70 or 0475 / 694.191. kim.notman@middlegate.eu PORT OF ZEEBRUGGE: VANDAMMEHUIS | ISABELLALAAN 1 | B-8380 ZEEBRUGGE | BELGIUM TEL .: +32 (0) 50 54 32 11 | FAX: +32 (0) 50 54 32 24 | EMAIL: MBZ@ZEEBRUGGEPORT.BE INCIDENTS / CALAMITIES ACHTERHAVEN AND BRUGES: 050 / 54.32.31 OR VHF 68 | OUTER PORT: 050 / 54.68.67 OR VHF 71 COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE PORT OF BRUGES-ZEEBRUGGE MAY BE ADDRESSED TO: IKMELD@ZEEBRUGGE.BE DISCLAIMER | © MBZ LOGIN
