ODTH wins Project of the Year 2026 by Transportmedia

Get in touch!

What a night! On april the 2nd we were able to take home the TRANSPORTMEDIA BELGIUM Logistic Project of the Year award for 2026! This second win, following our 2019 Project of the Year for our Smart Warehouse in Willebroek, showcases our ongoing commitment to being a logistic innovator!

Project Elixir differentiates itself versus greenfield automation projects, as it was implemented in a live operation, managing 80.000 pallets movements every month during implemenation, without any customer impact. Specific choices were made that highlight our approach to sustainibility: reuse of existing old racking in the automation (680ton CO2 saved vs. using new material) and a full revaluation of our existing warehouse site in Rumst!

Reinventing warehouse jobs and our conscious choice to work without an integrator are a testimony of our people first philosopy: “Where People and Technology join forces”

Such a project couldn’t have been realized without our excellent and local partners:
Bolckmans NV – who took on the challenge of tearing down and rebuilding a part of the facility in a live operation.
Goddeeris NV – for their flexible and knowledgeable approach in refitting the sprinklering
Movu Robotics – for being the key technology enabler for this project with their ASRS solution
stow Group – for making it possible to reuse the existing racking
FRAXINUS and codius – as partners who are looking for solutions before the problems are even visible to others
Flexso – our SAP partner that knows our processes through and through

And of course our full Rumst DC team that took the lead and went above and beyond to deliver this project! Special thanks to the core project team: Free Nauwelaerts, Wim Van Leuven, Geert Verheyden, Bart Weymans
