Update on new warehouse construction in Almere

Yanmar Europe is building a new 1,400 square meter warehouse at its European Parts Centre (EPC) in Almere to further strengthen its parts distribution network in Europe and Africa. In June 2025 the first pile was driven, marking the official start of construction. Now, just over half a year later, the building structure has been completed and the new facility is clearly visible on site.

Project on schedule

The construction and installation works are progressing according to plan. All key milestones have been reached within the expected timeframe, and the project remains on track for completion: the new warehouse is scheduled to become operational at the end of March 2026.

Installation of racking systems

The storage racking in the warehouse has already been fully installed. The new racks are designed to support efficient storage, safe handling and fast order picking of parts. The last technical installations, including material handling equipment, IT systems and safety solutions, are now being completed. Once these activities are finished, the warehouse will be able to start its preparatory operations by mid-February, and begin receiving goods from 1 March 2026. This will allow the European Parts Centre to gradually fill the new storage locations and test all operational processes before full-scale use.

Expansion of total storage capacity

With the completion of this expansion, Yanmar Europe’s spare parts operation in Almere will have a total warehouse area of 7,400 square meters. This significant increase in capacity will enable the EPC to handle growing parts volumes more efficiently, improve stock availability and further strengthen delivery reliability across Europe and Africa. This investment supports reliable aftersales service and helps customers maximise machine uptime, in line with Yanmar’s mission to build a sustainable future through technology.
