Total Logistics
Recent studies have underlined the logic of logistics and shown
that concentrating distribution in a central, carefully chosen area cuts down
the total cost dramatically. Acknowledging this, Yamato Transport settled down
their most important subsidiaries in the focus area of Central European Distribution
: the Netherlands, virtually the centre of the European continent. All major
industrial and business centres are easily reached within 24 hours.
However small this country may be, it has always played a dominant role in transport,
transit trade, cargo handling and storage. No wonder Rotterdam has the world's
biggest port. Nearby, at only 70 kilometres is Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. These
two major main ports have excellent rail-, road-, water and air connections
into Europe.
