Is your UK company experiencing post-Brexit logistics issues in the EU?
Brexit is still causing serious logistics challenges for UK companies who supply the continent. It is still overly complex for UK companies to find out which procedures and documents are crucial to transporting their goods to the EU .
SILS always goes the extra mile for every (new) customer
The first quarter of 2022 for SILS is characterized by the arrival of no fewer than seven new warehouse customers. Three of these seven are from the UK.

2022: change is the permanent constant
2022. A brand new year lies ahead of us. After two corona-dominated years, we hope to shift and broaden our focus more. However, I would like to look back a little more recently. In combination with the extremely high infection rate in the Netherlands, it was of course inevitable that SILS would also be affected by this. The good news is that all infected colleagues have recovered well.
When everything changes, SILS brings out the best in itself
Second warehouse SILS: more room to storage
Corona has shaken up logistics relationships and fixed routines worldwide. An example? The recent closure of an entire Chinese port (Ningbo) due to one corona case. And now container prices have increased sixfold. SILS suspects that these prices will last for at least another 6 months. Brexit also appears to be a lasting game changer logistically.
SILS moves into new Amsterdam warehouse
The expansion of SILS’s Logistic Center in Apeldoorn was completed in June 2019. This concerned a high-rise warehouse, dispatch, and office space totalling almost 9,500 m2. This results in an extra storage capacity of more than 15,000 pallet places. This enables us to store a total of about 25,000 pallets in our warehouse in Apeldoorn.
The logistics world after corona? Everything is possible!
Corona may be on the decline in Europe, but its economic consequences are still quite uncertain. In more than a year, many fixed routines have been completely turned upside down. At the same time, we've rigged up new ways of working together in no time to survive. For me, the big question is which certainties and achievements from before corona return and which new factors we have to learn to live with. The logistics world after corona? Everything is possible!
