Description
H.Essers will generate approximately 300 employment opportunities at its newly opened Fidenza warehouse following the facility's formal launch. The European logistics company inaugurated the 15,000 square meter site, expandable to 50,000 square meters, as part of its healthcare logistics expansion across Italy.
The facility complies with rigorous GDP/GMP standards and maintains precise temperature controls for medical products.
Operations Manager noted the facility's substantial regional economic benefits while delivering premium employment prospects. This development continues H.Essers' Italian growth trajectory, which started in the 1980s and accelerated in 2023 through acquiring Romano Trasporti, a healthcare transportation company operating near Naples.
