en.Wedoany.com Reported - TVH has officially inaugurated its "Plant T" logistics facility at its headquarters in Belgium. The $92 million project aims to secure the future capacity of global supply chain operations and reduce delivery times to international markets including the United States, Canada, and Mexico. TVH is a global supplier of parts for material handling, construction, and industrial equipment.
The four-story facility spans 581,000 square feet, equipped with 17 loading docks and a 600-ton connecting bridge linking it to existing warehouses. Plant T has become the central hub for all inbound goods, expanding TVH's total footprint in Belgium to over 2.3 million square feet.
Patrick Lecluyse, Executive Chairman of the TVH Board, stated that this expansion demonstrates the company's investment in future growth. As an international company, this move ensures that the logistics infrastructure can handle fluctuating global volumes and solidify long-term operations.
Plant T has redesigned the receiving and quality control processes. Inbound inventory is no longer handled through standard bulk storage but is immediately prioritized by category. Items ready for direct storage are processed quickly, while parts requiring technical inspection or custom packaging are directed to specialized product categories.
Tom Verbeke, Director of Goods Receiving at TVH, stated that the facility enables better management of parts, allowing customers to receive them faster. Received goods are sent to product experts, which helps improve quality checks and data enrichment. Collaboration between different departments will also enhance technical knowledge, providing better advice to customers.
To handle the fluctuating volume of 150,000 to 400,000 inbound parts daily, the facility employs automation technologies such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and intelligent conveyor belts.
Tanja Dysli, Chief Operating Officer of TVH, noted that Plant T is a critical link in the logistics process, aimed at improving throughput times and providing faster delivery times to global customers and branches.
The facility is seeking BREEAM "Excellent" certification, one of the international standards for sustainable building performance. Plant T features a waste recycling center and a rooftop array of 2,266 solar panels, generating clean energy equivalent to the electricity consumption of 350 households.
Employee ergonomics and well-being are also central to the design. All floors are equipped with advanced temperature control, modern dining and storage spaces, and robotic automation has been deployed to reduce heavy, repetitive manual labor.
