DSV Opens DGNB-certified Warehousing Facility Near Copenhagen

DSV opens a new giant 95,000 m2 warehouse and office premises near Copenhagen. Together with DSV's other buildings in Hedehusene, the new warehouse will be part of one of the largest logistics centres in the Nordic Region, boasting an area of 231,500 m2 by the end of 2022. Sustainability has been a key focus area during the construction process, and an innovative battery solution is currently being tested to store energy from solar cells on the new building. Many companies in Eastern Denmark are demanding storage space located close to the Greater Copenhagen area.

To meet these corporate needs, DSV is now adding another new giant warehouse to its logistics centre in Hedehusene, close to Copenhagen and right next to the motorway. With its impressive 95,000 m2, the new building will be the largest on DSV's plots in Hedehusene, at which DSV's global headquarters are also located. A fourth warehouse of approx. 38,000 m2 is also expected to be ready for use by the end of 2022. Once the construction work has been completed, the overall area will be one of the Nordic Region's largest single-user logistics facilities totalling 231,500 m2.
 
"In our opinion, the overall project is one of the most ambitious warehousing and logistics projects we've seen on Danish soil in recent years. Especially the most recent building is huge. The warehouse is divided into multiple sections, enabling us to support many different types of customers with their warehousing needs and distribution," says Marcel Blomjous, Managing Director of DSV Solutions Denmark.
 
The main contractor on the building is DS Flexhal, which has been a partner on several other large-scale construction projects for DSV. Kent Hejn, CEO at DS Flexhal, says: "At DS Flexhal, we're very pleased to hand over yet another major logistics construction project to DSV. It has been a very exciting and instructive process to construct such a large and innovative building with so many new features. DSV's great focus on energy and sustainability has also taught us a lot about the logistics buildings of the future. We've had an excellent collaboration with both DSV and the Municipality of Høje-Taastrup, which has contributed to a really good construction process."
