Maersk, a prominent player in the shipping and logistics sector, has recently secured its place at SEGRO Park Amsterdam Airport in Hoofddorp through a multi-year lease agreement with SEGRO Netherlands. This agreement entails Maersk’s occupation of the newly finished eastern section of the park, where it will manage its air cargo division. This strategic decision reflects Maersk’s commitment to providing tailored solutions for both international and local distribution needs. The chosen location, offering approximately 4,000 m2 of warehouse space and 1,080 m2 of office space at Barnsteen 7 and 8, is seen as a logical step for Maersk.
Notably, Pilot Freight Services, a US transport company acquired by Maersk in 2022, has long operated successfully at this business park, ensuring continuity in collaboration under SEGRO’s management. The SEGRO Park Amsterdam Airport provides Maersk with an opportunity to expand its operations and efficiently serve its global clientele, benefiting from its proximity to Schiphol Airport and excellent accessibility via major motorways. The partnership between Maersk and SEGRO underscores a shared commitment to sustainability. SEGRO’s modern, sustainable building at Barnsteen aligns with Maersk’s eco-friendly strategy.
This collaboration echoes a similar agreement between Maersk and SEGRO UK, where Maersk occupies a sizable warehouse at SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway, reflecting mutual sustainability objectives. Joost Schreurs, Development Manager at SEGRO Netherlands, expressed enthusiasm about Maersk’s proactive approach to reducing CO2 emissions and their shared commitment to sustainability. The BREEAM-certified building at Barnsteen reflects the highest sustainability standards, making it a pragmatic and forward-looking choice for Maersk. Beyond Hoofddorp, SEGRO Netherlands operates in Tilburg and Venray, further enriching its portfolio of strategic locations.
