1993 – The expansion to Etten-Leur

Some 60 years after its establishment – on May 24th, 1993 to be exact – the family-owned company based in Diessen achieved a new milestone with the acquisition of the transport company In ‘t Veld. The Etten-Leur-based transport company, like Timmermans, had a strong focus on the paper sector at that time.

With this acquisition, the company then had a total of 80 employees, 53 trucks, and 48,000 m² of storage capacity. Etten-Leur proved to be a strategic location as a distribution centre, allowing Timmermans to instantly expand its activities in storage, handling, inventory management, and information provision. Public warehousing thus became – and continues to be to this day – one of the core activities of Axell.

With a combined warehouse capacity of nearly 200,000 m² in the Netherlands and Poland, Axell Logistics is still able to meet the changing storage needs of its clients. Whether it’s corrugated cardboard, consumer goods, or industrial products, each warehouse has its own specific characteristics. Our facilities, managed by experienced logistics experts, offer the perfect solution for companies seeking a temporary or more permanent storage solution. In addition, we provide various additional services such as receiving, storage, order picking, packaging, and shipping of goods, ensuring complete relievement for the client.
