Steel structure for PLUS hypermodern distribution center in Oss

For PLUS, we delivered the steel structure for a new national distribution center in Oss, located at the Vorstengrafdonk business park. The distribution center, scheduled for completion at the end of 2022, is largely mechanized and will be one of the most modern distribution centers in the Netherlands. From this central logistics hub, all PLUS supermarkets will be supplied more efficiently. Sustainability and energy efficiency played a key role in the design of the facility.

Rowell Versleijen, Director of Logistics at PLUS:
“After years of intensive preparation, we have now started the actual construction. In the coming period, our new, sustainable and centrally located distribution center will be built here, which will also create additional employment opportunities in Oss. We will certainly keep everyone in the municipality of Oss and the surrounding area informed about the progress.”

Frank den Brok, Alderman for Economic Affairs, Municipality of Oss:
“The national distribution center of PLUS is a valuable addition to Oss. After a period of preparation, construction is now underway. Soon, more than 270 PLUS supermarkets will receive all non-perishable products from a hypermodern, mechanized distribution center at Vorstengrafdonk. PLUS will also immediately become one of the larger employers in Oss — something we are already very proud of.”

Construction progress

Construction company Van de Ven started with the initial preparatory works. This phase was followed by the assembly of the steel structure, roof and façade. By mid-2021, the distribution center was structurally completed, allowing the installation of the advanced mechanization systems to begin. With this project, Brink Staalbouw contributes to future-proof logistics infrastructure in the Netherlands.
