Always one step ahead

Nazareth-based storage and distribution company Dematra is building a fully automated high-rise warehouse in the De Prijkels industrial park.The building is 46 meters high and can accommodate 80,000 pallets. In 24 hours, 12,000 pallets can be moved. "This building is an international first, even in America they don't have that," says CEO Geert De Jaeger.

Dedicated warehousing and distribution specialist Dematra is a well-known player in the transport sector. To ensure its continued growth, the East Flanders logistics player needs a modern and high-performance IT infrastructure.

Waterland Private Equity Investments will provide growth capital to Dematra, specialist in the storage and fine-mesh distribution of food and non-food products.

On a cold Saturday morning in February, Dematra took delivery of 5 new Mercedes Actros.

"The year 2020 is probably not going to be easily forgotten by anyone" spoke Geert Dejaeger, CEO of Dematra from Deinze. There was almost only one news event that completely dominated the past year: the Corona pandemic.
