Groenewout, driven by knowledge

It’s more than 50 years since our founder, Cor Groenewout, started the company in 1966. After a few years of operating as a traditional construction engineering firm, Groenewout increasingly shifted its focus onto logistics projects in the 1970s and 80s. Since then, ongoing globalization has resulted in Groenewout’s involvement in numerous design and realization projects for warehouses and distribution centers.

Nowadays, the consultants are much more focused on market developments and market potential. Cor Groenewout’s vision remains unchanged – that when designing a warehouse you start with the processes you intend to work with rather than the building itself. And the question of which processes you intend to work with depends on the DC’s role in the supply chain: storage, cross-docking or another function? That has to be defined first.

Just as the profession is in a constant state of flux, so too is Groenewout. The consultancy firm has developed the necessary e-commerce expertise over the past few years. And in the field of supply chain, Groenewout is working on a new solution related to multi-echelon inventory management. Groenewout’s experts follow the trends and developments closely and will continue to do so in the future. We are a team that is passionate about logistics – one that comprises various disciplines to foster cross-pollination, because cross-pollination is crucial in order to stay at the forefront of the industry.

Needless to say, we are tremendously proud that now, more than 50 years later, we have grown into one of Europe’s most respected logistics and supply chain consultancy firms. Click here for Groenewout’s 50 years anniversary day in 2016.
