Flexport Expands in the Dutch Logistics Sector
Freight forwarding company adds product and engineering teams to European headquarters in Amsterdam
San Francisco-based Flexport is expanding its product and engineering teams to the Dutch logistics hub of Amsterdam. The expansion will enable the freight forwarding company to modernize and streamline customs processes for its customers across Europe through its powerful technology platform. The two new teams will join Flexport’s existing operations in its European headquarters in Amsterdam to further engage with the thriving Dutch logistics sector.
Dutch Logistics Network Offers Strategic Benefits for European Expansion
As Flexport continues to build out new technology in logistics, the company needs to work in the center of the industry alongside those who know the landscape best. With the Port of Rotterdam and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol both nearby, Flexport’s decision to locate its European engineering site in Amsterdam was an obvious choice.
Furthermore, the company’s product-oriented customs team will integrate smoothly with the Dutch customs service – one of the most dynamic and efficient in Europe. The success of Flexport’s leading-edge freight forwarding platform will also benefit from the close proximity to the Netherlands’ high-tech ecosystem. Finally, the company will draw upon the highly educated Dutch workforce to drive further innovation in the Dutch logistics sector.
