Growth at GVZ Bremen
B+S opens Bremen site
Six months after the foundation stone was laid, B+S GmbH Logistik und Dienstleistungen opens its new site in the Bremen Freight Village. The modern logistics property covers an area of over 30,000 square meters. The logistics service provider has so far created 50 new jobs by setting up in the Hanseatic city. A further 75 jobs are to be added in the future.
Once the building was completed, everything happened quickly: a third of the total space in the Bremen freight village (GVZ) has already been occupied. There, B+S offers a well-known pet food manufacturer not only space for the storage of its goods, but also for numerous services in the areas of contract logistics and the booming online trade. Thanks to steadily increasing sales, a further 10,000 square meters of logistics space has already been earmarked for the same customer. Another equally large area is available as capacity for future customers. The site also offers 1,000 square meters of office and social space, providing room for up to 125 new jobs in Germany's largest freight village.
"The location of the site convinced us right from the start: the GVZ in Bremen is close to the city center and has direct access to the 281 freeway. The Neustädter Hafen port is also not far away," explains Stefan Brinkmann, Managing Director of B+S. "We can transport goods quickly from our new location in Bremen by water and rail as well as by road." It was not only the location that scored points with the logistics service provider and its customer. The property itself also meets the highest quality standards, for example in terms of sustainability. In addition, the new complex, like all eleven other locations in Germany, is certified in accordance with the "International Food Standard" and therefore meets the highest food, product and service standards.
