The international organisation recently acquired a 67% stake in the major European logistics company Norbert Dentressangle, and noted the Tilburg location as a growing hotspot for logistics in the Netherlands, with Bol.com and Waalwijk also establishing a presence there. The space allows for a further 400 jobs in the longer term.
