Cordeel Group launches its 2022 sustainability report

Together with Quooker and our construction partners, we recently celebrated the official opening of the new Quooker distribution centre (QDC). The building has a usable floor area of approximately 20,000 m² and has been operational since May. It marks the first step towards a future-proof, scalable logistics operation that will support Quooker’s growth for decades.

Some projects stand out because of their scale. Others are defined by the technical challenges, tight schedules and close collaboration required to achieve a successful outcome. The completion of six butter tempering rooms for Lineage’s cold storage facility in Vlissingen-Oost is certainly one of those projects.

On Monday, 23 March, we welcomed 30 architecture and construction engineering students from HZ University of Applied Sciences to our Quooker project in Ridderkerk.

The Cordeel-Van der Straaten consortium recently delivered a 120-metre-long quay for Damen Yachting. The approximately 6,000 m² quayside area includes a modern workshop for storing superyacht components. Starting from the preliminary design (PD) stage, we developed the project through to implementation design (ID) and were also responsible for its full construction and delivery.

A new, larger Excelsior Stadium is the centrepiece of a multifunctional development offering facilities for professional and recreational sports, leisure, health and housing. All of this will be set within a green, pedestrian- and cycle-friendly environment. This ambitious plan was recently adopted by the Executive Board of the City of Rotterdam.

A recent groundbreaking ceremony officially launched Valvoline’s logistics facility extension in Dordrecht. To mark the occasion, Jenke Peters (senior director supply chain EMEA, Valvoline Global Operations) and Daan Schilperoort (development manager, Cordeel Nederland) pressed the red button together, joined by colleagues from both organisations.

We have reached an important milestone with APM Terminals Maasvlakte II and AECOM. Together, we have signed a joint venture agreement for the expansion of one of Europe’s most advanced container terminals. The on-site ceremony marked the official launch of an integrated construction project focused on increasing capacity, improving operational efficiency and developing a fully emission-free terminal. The first phase is scheduled for completion in early March 2026.

At this year’s jubilee event, Cordeel Nederland celebrated colleagues marking 12.5 and 25 years of service. Current and former employees gathered to recognise these memorable career milestones. As always, we highlighted the commitment and contribution of the people being honoured, with one particularly special tribute this year.

On the site of Quooker’s new logistics centre, work has started on the hempcrete façades.
