Lingerie brand Hunkemöller will open a new distribution centre in Almere in 2023. The new location is needed because the lingerie chain has outgrown its current DC in Hilversum and facilities in Bunschoten and Almere.
Hunkemöller has been growing fast in recent years and therefore decided to have a new distribution centre built close to its existing location. "We are looking forward to developing this new DC, which will incorporate a high level of automation to improve the efficiency and speed of our logistics," said Philip Mountford, CEO of Hunkemöller.
The new premises will accommodate 200 employees. The facility will receive sustainability certification BREEAM Excellent, with a focus on making the building as sustainable as possible with low energy consumption, low maintenance and incorporating sustainable solutions.
Hunkemöller chose business park Stichtsekant because it is along the A27 and 30 minutes away from both Utrecht and Amsterdam/Schiphol, close to a container and barge terminal.
