Fulfilment company Monta has expanded its network by opening a new warehouse in France, marking a significant milestone in the company's European growth. This expansion reinforces Monta’s position as one of the fastest-growing fulfilment providers on the continent.
Leonard Aerts, CEO of Monta, stated:
“The opening of our warehouse in France is a crucial step in expanding our cross-border strategy. It allows us to serve online entrepreneurs in France more efficiently and optimize their logistics processes. This is another key milestone in our international expansion.”
This French warehouse opening follows Monta’s recent expansions into Belgium, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Thanks to the strategic location of the new facility, Monta’s customers with a high volume of orders in France can benefit from faster delivery times, competitive shipping rates, and the option to use local carriers such as Colis Privé and Colissimo for more efficient deliveries. Additionally, customers can take advantage of later cut-off times due to the warehouse’s central location within France.
First Customer in France: Tripel Karmeliet
Belgian brewery Tripel Karmeliet is the first customer to use Monta’s fulfilment services in France. Along with the new French warehouse, Tripel Karmeliet also utilizes Monta’s centres in the Netherlands and Belgium to handle webshop orders. This enables the brewery to offer fast delivery times and local carriers in three countries, optimizing their logistics processes and enhancing the overall customer experience.
Choosing Monta aligns with Tripel Karmeliet’s goal to deliver products across Europe efficiently and sustainably. Aerts adds, “We’re delighted to welcome Tripel Karmeliet as our first customer in France. We work closely to ensure their products are delivered promptly and sustainably, both locally and across borders.” With the new warehouse in France, Monta now operates 19 locations across Europe.
Linehaul to France
Monta is a key partner for companies seeking international growth, with various webshops benefiting from Monta’s established linehaul solution from the Netherlands to France. For businesses with a diverse and frequently changing product range, fulfilment via linehaul is often more appealing than maintaining local stock. This solution provides the flexibility and efficiency needed for managing logistics without being tied to fixed inventories in each country. Aerts explains, “Shipping with local carriers instills consumer confidence, leading to higher conversion rates, shorter communication lines, and faster turnaround times. This allows our webshop clients to offer a more customer-friendly and cost-effective service.”
