From a pragmatic point of view, there is now an economic benefit to relocating: digitisation and automation are helping to deliver greater competitiveness, alongside the acceleration of new technologies, which are creating a demand among our customers for ever shorter times to market. To that end, relocating closer to end markets helps optimise the responsiveness of logistics chains.
