DB Schenker is to open new warehouse facilities in Ilvesvuori, Nurmijärvi, Finland.
The 25,600 square meter Nurmijärvi Distribution Center – NDC – at Ilvesvuorentie 8 has been built in accordance with the BREEAM Very Good sustainability certificate and uses, among other things, geothermal heat and energy produced by its own solar panels (300 kWp).

This latest warehouse also meets these requirements. Our contract logistics hub in the metropolitan area, which has now doubled in size, enables us to offer a wide range of storage services conveniently located along the Helsinki–Tampere motorway E12 and opens up new opportunities for our customers’ storage needs throughout the Nordic region,” says Petteri Nurmi, CEO of DB Schenker in Nordics.With a total investment of €13.5 million, DB Schenker can offer its contract logistics customers extensive value-added services, fast delivery times and excellent connections to the Finnish road network, the main ports and Helsinki-Vantaa airport. The facilities of Ilvesvuori contract logistics hub can be scaled according to the customer’s needs, both in terms of surface area and type of facility, including the storage of chemicals.
