Canon Europe and Nippon Express strengthen cooperation in Rotterdam

Canon Europe, world-leader in imaging solutions consolidates its central warehouse operations for Western Europe in Rotterdam. The consolidation is part of a comprehensive review of Canon’s supply chain network to optimize efficiency in anticipation of future business requirements. As a result of a tender, Nippon Express has been appointed as the logistics service provider for the new central warehouse operation. Together with the existing facilities, a new 70,000 m2 distribution center will become the beating heart of Canon's European supply chain.

The location for the consolidated central warehouse operation will be the Distripark Maasvlakte in Rotterdam. The new consolidated warehouse will become operational in the second half of 2015, following a phased transition of the current warehouse operations in Amstelveen, Rotterdam and Schiphol-Rijk to the new location. The spare parts operation in Schiphol-Rijk will not be affected by this change. The new warehouse is perfectly tailored to the empasis on marine transport over air transport, which means more to container shipping and from a larger warehouse, centralized in Rotterdam.

Hence the establishment of a blue chip company like Canon is secured and at the same time a very impressive logistical setup is implemented and new employment is created for the Rotterdam region.

Canon will work closely with Nippon Express to ensure smooth implementation of this transition and to maintain on-going product availability and customer service.

Canon Europe was supported in the decision making process for this consolidation project by the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA), the Rotterdam Investment Agency (RIA) and other regional partners.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

A. Aboufirass | Structural Engeer

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
