TVH opens advanced "Plant T" Logistics facility to accelerate global supply chain efficiency. 24 June 2026 TVH, a leading global provider of parts for material handling, construction, and industrial equipment, has officially opened "Plant T," a state-of-the-art logistics facility at its headquarters in Belgium. Representing a $92 million USD investment, the new hub is designed to future-proof global supply chain operations, significantly reducing lead times for international markets, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The massive four-story, 581,000-square-foot facility expands TVH's total Belgian footprint to over 2.3 million square feet. Equipped with 17 loading docks and a striking 600-ton connector bridge linked to existing warehouses, Plant T acts as the central hub for all incoming goods. "This is clear proof that we are investing in future growth," said Patrick Lecluyse, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors at TVH. "As an international company, this expansion ensures our logistics infrastructure can seamlessly handle fluctuating global volumes and anchor our long-term operations." Next-Gen automation and specialized processing. Plant T completely reimagines TVH's receiving and quality control pipelines. Instead of standard bulk storage, incoming inventory is immediately sorted by priority. Items ready for immediate-to-stock processing will be fast-tracked, while parts requiring technical inspection or custom packaging are routed straight to specialized product categories. "The building will help us manage our parts better, so customers get their parts even faster," says Tom Verbeke, Director Goods In at TVH. "Received goods will be brought to product specialists, which will improve quality checks and data enrichment. Plus, synergies across different departments will strengthen our technical knowledge so we can advise our customers even better." To manage daily volume swings, which can range from 150,000 to 400,000 incoming parts, the facility utilizes cutting-edge automation such as Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and smart conveyors for highly flexible and scalable goods movement. "It's easy to think Plant T is just another warehouse, but it is a vital link in our logistical process to improve throughput times and offer faster lead times to our customers and branches worldwide." noted Tanja Dysli, COO at TVH. Sustainability and employee well-being. In alignment with TVH's commitment to sustainability, Plant T aims to achieve a BREEAM "Outstanding" certification, one of the highest international standards for sustainable building performance. The facility features a state-of-the-art waste recycling center and a 2,266-panel solar rooftop array capable of generating enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 350 households. Employee ergonomics and well-being were also central to the building's design. The facility incorporates advanced climate control across all floors, modern dining and locker spaces, and targeted robotic automation specifically deployed to offload heavy, repetitive manual labor from team members. Plant T marks a new chapter in TVH's successful operations. By advancing its logistics infrastructure, TVH unlocks new levels of global efficiency, ensuring that industrial and material handling operations across the Americas and beyond receive critical parts faster than ever before.
