TOKYO — The parent of the Uniqlo clothing brand has built one of its biggest automated warehouses worldwide in the Netherlands to consolidate distribution in Europe, a market where the retailer anticipates growth.
Fast Retailing’s 10 billion yen ($69.2 million) distribution center in Rotterdam has 110,000 square meters of floor space on a 145,000-sq.-meter site. The recently opened center is comparable in size to a U.S. warehouse the Japanese group opened in 2021.
