Neenah Announces European Distribution Center in the Netherlands


As part of an overall expansion initiative to provide worldwide distribution as well as meet specific needs of large, global accounts, Neenah Paper, Alpharetta, Ga., USA, this week announced the opening of its new European Distribution Center in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

This new facility, managed by the C. van Heezik Group, will serve as a local European resource for some of Neenah’s most popular and best-selling brands in Europe. Neenah will immediately stock select Environment® Papers and Neenah® Folding Board, the premium lines from Neenah most often specified by designers for print and packaging products overseas. 

"The location for Neenah’s new European Distribution Center was strategically selected for three reasons," said Chris Schneider Sr., international marketing and logistics manager. "First, the city of Utrecht is centrally located within the Netherlands and larger Europe, already a well-known transport hub. Second, this particular location enables Neenah to better service its U.S.-based global accounts , which produce a large amount of print and packaging locally in Europe. Finally, Neenah has a strong, local logistics partner that we know and trust."

The new facility enables the timely, efficient, and cost effective operations of Neenah throughout Europe, as well as room for expansion. Schneider adds, "This is an exciting time for Neenah to solidify our position as a global provider of premium packaging papers for our key customers, with the capability to deliver anywhere within Europe."

For more than 100 years, Neenah Paper has been an innovative leader in the creation and manufacturing of papers for premium writing, text, cover, digital, packaging, and specialty needs.
