GLS opens a new depot in Béziers

In order to strengthen its logistics network in the south of France and the Languedoc Roussillon region, GLS France is opening a brand new agency in Servian, near Béziers, from 1 April 2020. Late pick-ups enable faster parcel delivery in certain parts of the Hérault and Aude regions. GLS is thus responding to the growing increase in the number of private recipients in the region. GLS has invested approximately 200,000 euros in the expansion of its buildings. The former depots in Béziers, Narbonne and part of the Agde/Marseillan/Sérignan site will be integrated into the new building. "This will enable us to harmonize processes and further improve the quality of our services," explains Nicolas Robert, Managing Director of GLS France. The 2,500 m² site has a processing capacity of around 1,600 parcels per day. The new branch is strategically located in the Zone d'Activités de la Baume in Servian, about 15 km north-east of Béziers. Direct access to the A75 and A9 motorways, as well as to the N9 national road, makes it easy to reach the nearest town, Narbonne, as well as other GLS sites. Modern and durable equipment Eighteen delivery rounds will leave from this new site in the region. A new 80-metre, fully motorised conveyor increases productivity and facilitates the work of employees, transport partners and delivery drivers. As part of the ThinkGreen initiative, the branch has also been equipped with solar panels. The energy produced is used 100% for the depot.
