PostNL opens fulfilment centre in Mannheim (DE)
Expanding the international logistics network
Mannheim (DE), November 17, 2025 – PostNL announces the opening of its newest fulfilment centre in the Mannheim Economic Area, strategically located in Schifferstadt, Germany. This expansion reinforces PostNL’s commitment to growing its European logistics network and supports Dutch online retailers by enhancing their position abroad. In addition, it broadens the local fulfilment offering. This new site joins the existing network of fulfilment centres in major European economic areas, including Cologne (DE), Milan (IT), Wroclaw (PL), and two locations in the Utrecht Economic Area (NL).
Sending up to 4 million parcels per year
The first fulfilment centre of PostNL opened in 2011 near Utrecht. As the other facilities, the new fulfilment centre in Mannheim offers logistic solutions from inventory management to order picking, packaging, shipping and returns, helping customers to grow their business abroad. Spring Global Delivery Solutions, an international PostNL subsidiary, is responsible for the execution and distribution. The location boasts 10.000 square meters of operational space and a 12-meter ceiling height, creating a maximum capacity of 4 million parcels per year. PostNL keeps investing in the expansion of its international fulfilment network.
“Our new fulfilment centre in Mannheim strengthens our cross-border e-commerce capabilities,” says Tijs Reumerman, Director Cross Border Solutions at PostNL. “The location, design, and capacity of this facility ensure we can help our customers grow abroad with faster, and more efficient delivery options.”
Sustainable packaging solutions
Earlier this year, PostNL put two sustainable packaging machines into use at a fulfilment location in The Netherlands. This machine measures the items collectively to determine the optimal box size and cuts the box to size. The smart packing machine saves on cardboard, air in the packages and therefore on CO2 emissions. Efficient packaging to transport less air, resulting in a more sustainable and future proof e-commerce.
