Direct connection between storage, port logistics and Monta’s IT landscape
For this step, Monta has partnered with AG E-commerce, which operates a large, high-quality warehouse facility centrally located in the Netherlands and easily accessible via the Port of Rotterdam. Thanks to the direct connection to the river, products can be transported efficiently from the Port of Rotterdam and moved directly to the highly sustainable 38,000 m² facility in Tiel. Since the facility is already connected to Monta’s operations and fully integrated into Monta’s IT landscape, this partnership shortens lead times, reduces transport movements and demonstrably contributes to a more sustainable supply chain.
More efficient supply chain with lower CO₂ emissions
The new storage facility has been developed according to the highest sustainability standards. The building is 100% energy-neutral and has a BREEAM Excellent certification, the highest possible certification in this field. Due to its central location relative to existing Monta locations, internal transport flows are kept to a minimum. This results not only in operational efficiency and cost advantages, but also in a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions.
“By strategically organizing storage and fulfilment closer together and choosing a highly sustainable storage facility, we create a more efficient and greener supply chain for our clients,” says Leonard Aerts, CEO of Monta. “Webshops demand maximum control over inventory, speed toward the consumer and a lower ecological footprint. With this expansion, we make that possible from the very first meters in Europe.”
Strategic partnership: scalable and trusted
One of the two owners of AG E-commerce, Richard Ducoffre, was a familiar face within Monta for many years. Driven by his long-standing passion and experience in the e-commerce market, he identified a structural and growing demand for large-scale, sustainable and centrally located storage capacity for e-commerce. This market demand led him and his partner Kees Zaal to establish AG E-commerce.
Ducoffre explains: “The e-commerce market is professionalizing at a rapid pace. Scalability, accessibility and sustainability are no longer differentiating factors, but prerequisites. By connecting our storage capacity to Monta’s fulfilment infrastructure, we are creating a future-proof solution at the front end of the supply chain. It’s great to support online entrepreneurs even better in this way, together with the company I always enjoyed working for.”
Both parties express their intention to further intensify the collaboration in the coming years. With this expansion, Monta strengthens its position as a full-service e-fulfilment partner for ambitious webshops in the Netherlands and abroad. By connecting earlier in the chain, an integrated supply chain is created that is scalable, efficient and sustainably organized.
