KNAPP snags Zalando Dutch distribution centre deal
Online fashion venture Zalando has ordered KNAPP tech for its new 140,000 m² distribution centre near Rotterdam, which will serve customers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Spain and the UK.
The DC will feature a combination of KNAPP’s shuttle storage and pocket sortation technology. The retailer is investing some €200 million in the overall project as it looks to rack up gross sales of €20 billion by 2023/24.
Construction work began this summer and the facility is scheduled to begin operation in two years. It will provide space for around 16 million articles, with several hundred thousand items flying out the doors on peak days.
