“After the opening of a new distribution centre in Eitting, close to Munich, last year, another distribution centre was inaugurated in February 2018 in Ginsheim-Gustavsburg near Mainz.
“Both centres are equipped with the latest technology in terms of ripening, value-add packing, controlled atmosphere storage and service providing opportunities. All of which making them also energy-efficient. Moreover, they are strategically positioned with close proximity to both logistical connections as well as our food retail clients,” Greenyard said.
“As a result of these investments in new state-of-the-art centres, Greenyard will close its logistical centres in Bremen and Neunkirchen. It is Greenyard’s intention to transfer as many employees as possible to its other sites within the organisation.”
