Antwerp is a preferred location for companies because of its central position and its longstanding tradition as a centre for international commerce. It is strategically positioned while 60% of the European Union’s buying power is within a 500-kilometre radius of the greater Antwerp area.

The port of Antwerp offers the widest logistical service of all European seaports thus many multinational companies have built their own depots in the port area. This means Antwerp disposes of an important comparative advantage, because of the constant interaction between the manufacturing and shipping sector within the port.

Antwerp is also strategically positioned for shippers to strengthen their competitive position, while reducing cost and transport time. The average trucking cost to the major hinterland centres from the port of Antwerp is 17% cheaper than from the port of Rotterdam.

From a European perspective, Antwerp is the best choice for all handling of your goods.
