Description
Dutch parcel delivery company Red je pakketje announced the expansion of its parcel sorting centre in Zwolle. The number of employees at the sorting centre in Zwolle will triple, growing from 80 to 240 employees.
The expansion of the sorting centre in Zwolle is part the rapid growth of the company, caused by the growing demand for parcel delivery since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The number of locations has grown from 5 to 11 this year, with most recently the opening of a new sorting centre in Rijen.
Red je pakketje is a Dutch parcel delivery company specialising in same-day delivery. The company was founded 5 years ago and has been one of the fastest growing Dutch companies in recent years.
