The successful Trade Port concept

A cornerstone in Holland’s prominent economic position

Holland is a leading player in the strong commercial climate of the European Union. Some 6,300 foreign companies have located their European operations in the Netherlands. And Nearly 30 per cent of all goods transported in Europe today are handled by Dutch international carriers.

The majority of Holland’s successful commercial activity is centred around three cornerstones. First, the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest and busiest harbour. Second, Schiphol Airport, the third most active air-cargo centre in Europe. And third, the Venlo/Eindhoven area, operating on the strength of the successful Trade Port concept.

A high-profile, high-flexibility location

The Trade Port complex is the centre-piece of combined industrial/logistics activities in the southeast Netherlands. It is an expansive, ultra-modern commercial development location, combining fully-integrated road and rail transhipment facilities with a state-of-the-art telecommunications infrastructure. It is also a highly flexible business park. Designed to international standards, Trade Port offers optimum accommodations for virtually any type of commercial endeavour, from warehousing, logistics and distribution to manufacturing and recycling to research, development or service industries.

Well situated

Commercial developers benefit from Trade Port’s central location in the heart of the European Market, home to more than 350 million consumers. Trade Port is located near the intersection of the E34/A67 and the A73, as well as the junction of the railway lines Rotterdam-Eindhoven-Venlo and Arnhem-Nijmegen-Roermond.

For easy accessibility to all Trade Port premises, an international 4-digit addressing system has been implemented in recent years. This system was initially developed by the Port of Rotterdam, ensuring an effective, internationally-recognisable system as the Trade Port continues its expansion programme.

Part of the big picture

The multi-modal transport facilities present at Trade Port complement those of Rotterdam and Schiphol. Both facilities have a vested interest in further strengthening Venlo's position in European goods traffic. In fact, to an ever increasing degree, activities in goods handling are being relocated from Rotterdam to the interior due to growing traffic congestion in the densely populated agglomerations of western Holland. That's one reason why a High-speed Container Shuttle Service now offers direct, daily rail connections between Trade Port and the Rail Service Centre at the Port of Rotterdam.

Ready for Europe 2050 with the Trade Port concept

The Venlo area has emerged as one of the primary logistic centres for the European market of the 21st century. With its central location, its direct infrastructural connections to major European economic centres and its terminal facilities for nearly any type of combined traffic, Venlo presents clear strategic advantages for companies hoping to capitalise on the opportunities of the changing European market. A key element of that strategic advantage is Venlo's highly successful Trade Port concept.
