Alinso starts construction cross-dock centre Mainfreight in Ghent

Mainfreight (ex-Wim Bosman, ex-Maenhout) recently decided to move its cross-dock operations in Ostend to Zwijnaarde, as this location is more centrally located. This avoids unnecessary kilometres and reduces the cost of road pricing. Now that the Belgian management of the New Zealand group has reached an agreement with the unions, construction could start on the new facilities. The end of the works is scheduled for the second quarter of 2018.
