The site links up with the existing location of the covered terminal, from where a lot of high-grade steel and other metals are already distributed for Paccorini, Swedish Steel and the Finnish company Rautaruuki, among others. There is enough room for expansion, for example with a centre for cutting rolled steel into sheets. A major customer has already been found for the existing warehouse. More interest is expected because steel production and trade are flourishing. There is considerable demand for handling capacity in seaports, from both Europe and elsewhere, particularly China.
Gevelco forms part of the Broekman Group. Following the expansion of the site, Gevelco will have 35,000 m² of modern storage space at its disposal, 13,500 m² of which temperature controlled. After the alterations, there will be a total open storage area of 160,000 m².
