The European Market: endless opportunities
Europe is an attractive and lucrative market, offering a lot of potential to international exporters and investors. The European Union (EU) comprises 27 member countries, and with a population of around 500 million people and a relatively high purchasing power, it is one of the world’s largest consumer and industrial markets.
Centralized European distribution via the Netherlands
Many international companies serve their customers throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond via a central distribution center in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is located in the heart of Europe’s largest consumer markets, amidst the metropolitan areas of London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, and at a stone’s throw distance from other major markets such as Germany and Italy. Due to its well developed infrastructure, and the large supply of transportation services, the Netherlands offers excellent connections to all these markets via every mode of transport available. From the Netherlands your company could reach its clients in major European markets within 24 hours, using an express service, or within days, using a more economical groupage transport network.
