“Ceva takes care of the reception, storage, order picking, packing, and shipping of medical device orders placed by European wholesalers and hospitals,. This includes things like surgical kits, medical devices such as neurostimulators and pacemakers, and all the spare parts that go with them.”

“Because we too are subject to the pharmaceutical industry’s GDP standards, this DC is a temperature-controlled warehouse and we use safety procedures and systems to maintain the temperature of certain products at all times.”

“WDP helped Ceva to make the new DC energy-efficient. We looked for sustainable solutions together with WDP’s high-level project and facility managers. We paid extra attention to the insulation of the site, the roof construction, the ventilation system, and sustainable heating whereby we need as little fossil fuel as possible. WDP recently installed solar panels on the roof to make maximum use of green energy.”

“After 18 months, there are now four 12,500-m² units in use, totalling 50.000 m² And that’s only half of the total site because there is enough expansion capacity foreseen to double the current DC. Medtronic has been growing tremendously in recent years and volumes are rising noticeably. So, it wouldn’t surprise me if we start using the entire available capacity, 100.000 m², within the next five years.”
