Business blossoms for Logistex

Logistex, a leading automated logistics systems 4th party integrator, has been selected by FloraHolland to develop, install and implement an innovative handling concept for its Aalsmeer, Netherlands, warehouse and distribution centre. The new system will play a key role in FloraHolland's long-term strategy of demand-driven logistics and following evaluation the successful pilot scheme will be extended to more parts of the distribution process.
