Listen to those who know Listen to those who know Testimonial Kerry Logistics
Testimonial DoCoMo i-mode
“As of January 2007, Kerry Logistics is operational at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, renting a 4,500 m2 warehouse at Anthony Fokker Business Park. With the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) being the logistics platform of Europe, locating at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was a logical decision. The largest European markets of Germany, the UK and France can be reached easily. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol will become one of the most important entry points for Kerry Logistics. In addition, tax advantages such as fiscal representation and international know how make the Amsterdam Airport Area a very attractive location for a third party logistics service provider such as Kerry” says John Warmenhoven, Director Air Freight Western Europe region North.
“Easy access and fast connections to major cities around the continent are extremely important for us. The friendly regulations for immigration and tax in Holland were other reasons for choosing Amsterdam,’ says Isao Ohashi, president of DoCoMo i-mode Europe (DCMiE). DCMiE was established by NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese mobile giant. DCMiE’s office is located on the top two floors of the World Trade Center Amsterdam, only 15 minutes from Schiphol Airport. “Working and living here is very pleasant. Having a wonderful view of the city of Amsterdam is very inspiring, but also our employees enjoy life in the Netherlands very much: the people mostly speak English, are very friendly and helpful, and easy to mix with. Moreover, having excellent facilities such as the Japanese school is also a wonderful asset.”
