The building will be realized next to the current building of De Jong Verpakking in the Westerlee industrial area in De Lier. Demolition work started in September 2020, after which the ground was made ready for construction. The first pile was driven in June 2021 and the work will be completed early next year. Henk de Jong, owner of De Jong Verpakking: “We have been talking to the municipality for some time now. It is very good to be able to show them the status of the work live now.”
A production location with a floor area of almost 100,000 m2 is being built on a floor area of approximately 50,000 m2. Due to the limited available land in the municipality, it was decided to build a shipping hall and parking deck for trucks above the production floor.
