The proximity of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Port of Amsterdam, the Greenport (Aalsmeer flower auction) and the dataport (AMS-IX) makes the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area an ideal location for all types of logistics activities.

Locating your logistics company in the AMA means establishing yourself in a region where innovations in logistics are top of the bill. Here you will find 400 years of logistics experience, easy access to all European markets, the ’best-in-class‘ European cargo airport and an extensive network of logistics companies. Also, we don’t stop at traditional large-scale logistics operations: all logistic activities can be accommodated in the AMA, from the transport of clothing and perishables to the warehousing of IT goods

Being and staying a smart logistics hub means constantly developing new, innovative solutions in the field of logistics. The concepts we work on focus on such areas as improving the efficiency of the logistics chain. The recent ‘Seamless Connections’ project aims to remove boundaries and obstacles between the various logistics parties and, in doing so, raise the efficiency, speed and, ultimately, the cost-efficiency of the logistics chain to a higher level. Other relevant initiatives are One Logistics,  Amsterdam Connecting Trade and the DGVS-zone (Paperless Goods Movement Tracking System).
