Murata has chosen Arvato to operate its central distribution center for the EMEA region at the Gennep site, Netherlands.
This Gennep site easily connects Murata to the European highway network. Major airports such as Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Liège, and Maastricht, as well as crucial ports like Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, and Bremen, are easily accessible.

This streamlined process ensures swift distribution, enabling deliveries to reach the majority of Murata’s European customers in just one to two days.
