MRW opens EUR 17m Barcelona hub
Spanish express courier MRW continues to expand fast across Iberia with the opening of a new EUR 17 million logistics hub at Barcelona.
The 13,000 sqm facility has separate parcel and mail sorting belts with nearly 200 loading bays. The company now has over 40 such hubs in Iberia, following the opening of new platforms in San Sebastian and Granada in May.
“The platforms play an important role in the logistics of the network as they are the points where different time-definite shipments converge, permitting agility and speed in the services the client is paying for,” the company said in a statement.
MRW has also opened four new franchises in Badalona (Barcelona), Alicante city, Gandía (Valencia) and Medina-Sidonia (Cádiz) over the past month, taking its total number of outlets in Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar to 775, 86 of which are in Barcelona province (25 in the city).
The company is one of Spain’s fastest-growing couriers, with over 10,000 staff, 5,000 vehicles and three aircraft. Last year revenues grew 9% to EUR 564 million.
