Reims: a central hub for European logistics
Strategically located in the heart of France's Grand Est region, Reims is rapidly emerging as a pivotal point for businesses aiming to optimize their European supply chains. Recent developments, such as Dachser's significant 6,000 m² expansion of its logistics platform, underscore the region's growing importance. This extension boosts the facility to an impressive 24,000 m², making it an even more attractive prospect for companies seeking robust warehousing solutions.
Reims boasts unparalleled connectivity, situated at the crossroads of major European arteries like the A4 (Paris–Strasbourg) and A26 (Calais–Troyes) motorways. This prime position ensures seamless access for North-South and East-West European freight flows, guaranteeing efficient daily departures and rapid distribution across the continent. For businesses, this translates into reduced transit times and enhanced market reach.
Enhanced capacity and specialized storage solutions
The expansion has dramatically increased the platform's total storage capacity to 36,000 pallets, adding 9,000 new storage locations. This significant boost provides ample space for growing businesses to store their goods securely and efficiently. Beyond sheer volume, the facility offers highly specialized storage environments.
Crucially, the new infrastructure includes advanced temperature-controlled cells. These are precisely managed by a Centralized Technical Management (GTC) system, utilizing five rooftop air conditioning units to meticulously recreate ideal conservation conditions—akin to a traditional wine cellar. This makes the Reims platform an exceptional choice for industries requiring stringent climate control, such as the burgeoning wine and spirits sector in Champagne.
Sustainable logistics for a greener future
Modern businesses demand not only efficiency but also sustainability. The expanded Reims facility is engineered with a strong commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. It features 100% LED lighting equipped with motion detection, drastically cutting unnecessary energy consumption. All material handling equipment operates on state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, enhancing efficiency while minimizing emissions.
Furthermore, the centralized management system for temperature control not only ensures optimal conditions but also fine-tunes energy usage, contributing to a more sustainable operation. This focus on eco-friendly practices allows businesses utilizing the platform to align with their own corporate social responsibility goals.
Why choose Reims for your warehouse & logistics needs?
As Christophe Genin-Valla, General Manager Champagne-Ardenne-Bourgogne, highlights, this expansion reinforces the commitment to strengthening logistics offerings in the Grand Est region and supporting client growth, particularly in export markets. The Reims site serves as a strategic lever, ready to facilitate the development of your activity.
Choosing Reims for your warehouse and logistics needs means opting for a strategic location, expanded and specialized storage capacity, cutting-edge sustainable infrastructure, and a partner committed to your growth. Whether you're in wine and spirits or any industry requiring robust European distribution, Reims offers the ideal foundation for your supply chain success.
