Münster / Osnabrück - A top logistics location
Introduction
The region’s strength lies in its attractiveness for contract logistics service providers and industrial owner-occupiers. Thus industrial companies are overrepresented, particularly in the mechanical engineering sector.
Location concentrates in the region’s east and west. The access to freeway A43 promotes the region's northern part. The freight village Osnabrück is also located there.
Availability of sites
Sufficiently large sites are still available in the region, for the most part with good freeway access as well. The Münster/Osnabrück region belongs to those logistics regions with a high potential for the availability of sites, making it well positioned for the competition between regions in the future.
