The building, which was constructed entirely with sustainable materials and encompasses 2,000 sq m of temperature-controlled warehouse area, is the first completed element in Brussels Airport Company’s broader redevelopment of the 34,000 sq m Brucargo Central area.
During the inauguration, Nippon Express announced its choice for Brussels Airport as a European pharmaceutical gateway. The company said this confirms Brussels Airport’s status as a leading European hub for pharma logistics.
Nippon Express Belgium Managing Director Michael Kamm said: “This expansion in scale enables us to better meet the growing demands of our customers and allows for further specialisation. Our three existing buildings have been consolidated into our new building. This helps strengthen cooperation between our teams and boosts logistics efficiency.”
Brussels Airport CEO Arnaud Feist said: “Nippon Express has been a trusted partner at Brussels Airport for over 40 years. We are therefore particularly pleased that by moving into this new facility they not only reaffirm our long-term commitment but also choose Brussels Airport as a European pharma gateway for their activities.”
The redeveloped Brucargo Central area will house five cargo partners and is expected to be completed this summer.
