ShipBob, a global fulfillment platform founded in 2014, is expanding to the Netherlands with the launch of a fifth European fulfillment center. The Chicago-based company has raised 330.5 million dollars in funding and operates a logistics network of more than 45 fulfillment centers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.

‍
The expansion is a result of increased demand in the region. Enda Breslin, GM Europe at ShipBob, said: “As we have grown our United Kingdom and European business over the last 12 months, the next logical step was a Netherlands-based fulfillment location.”

‍
The Netherlands is an ideal location for brands looking to grow their European business, according to Breslin. “Europe’s busiest seaport of Rotterdam is located there, making getting your goods from manufacturers easy. On the doorstep of mainland Europe’s first and second biggest ecommerce markets of Germany and France, our customers can easily get their orders to those shoppers in two days or less.”

‍
The new fulfillment center is expected to be operational in July. ShipBob’s platform allows customers to view real-time inventory levels in fulfillment centers, as well as order information and shipping details across locations and sales channels.

ShipBob’s expansion to the Netherlands is a testament to the country’s growing importance as a logistics hub. With the launch of its fifth European fulfillment center, ShipBob is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing ecommerce market in Europe
