New Latvia terminal vastly increases DANX handling capacity while delivering on sustainability ambitions

Riga, Latvia, Date: DANX has begun operations at its new 600 sq-metre Baltics terminal based in Latvia, in a move made to increase freight handling capacity, facilitate earlier delivery times, and reduce CO2 emissions.

Relocating the facility to the outskirts of Riga, Latvia, DANX has also increased its operational capacity six-fold and improved its speed of access to the rest of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

“Demand for time-critical deliveries from the agricultural and automotive sectors across the Baltics has been growing for some time and we anticipate this will continue,” said Christian Steengaard, Baltics & Poland Managing Director, DANX.

“DANX’s new facility exemplifies its commitment to the region as we continue to improve the speed, accuracy, and reliability of both our By:NIGHT and By:DAY services.

“This investment is also a tangible reflection of DANX’s drive towards a sustainable logistics landscape.”

The new location has both removed truck driven CO2 emissions from the centre of Riga and improved access to the Baltic republics, cutting thirty minutes from final-mile deliveries on average.

“We remain vigilant for further opportunities for improvements and have the potential to expand this new site by a further 1500 sq-metres as demand dictates,” added Steengaard.

The facility has an A+ Energy Performance Certificate and offers quick loading and unloading times and is equipped with solar panel roofing and LED lighting throughout.
