Smart logistics in Liège: how Weerts Supply Chain is shaping the future of e-commerce and multimodal supply chains

The logistics sector is evolving fast. Flexibility, sustainability and speed are no longer luxuries. They are essential for staying competitive.

From our strategic hub in Liège, we are building the supply chains of tomorrow. We combine smart technology, future-ready warehouses and a strong focus on multimodal solutions to help businesses stay ahead.

Liège is quickly becoming a European logistics hotspot. With its location along the river Meuse, its proximity to key motorways and the international airport, the region offers outstanding connectivity. The arrival of global players like Alibaba continues to boost the growth of e-commerce and multimodal logistics.

At Weerts Supply Chain, we saw this evolution coming. That’s why we made a deliberate choice to establish a strong presence in Liège, including our newest site in Milmort.

Our logistics site in Milmort is the result of a targeted investment in the future. With 36,000 m² of state-of-the-art warehouse space and infrastructure designed for today’s supply chains, we’re strengthening our position in the fast-growing logistics ecosystem of Liège.

We manage the logistics flow of FMCG products for well-known brands — including sorting, palletising and distribution to retailers across Belgium.

In addition to traditional warehousing, we also offer value-added services like co-packing: assembling promotional packs, displays and shelf-ready units. These are created in collaboration with social enterprises and sheltered workshops.

Innovation goes beyond infrastructure. In Milmort, we are continuously investing in smart technologies to make our logistics processes more efficient, more accurate and more ergonomic. One example is our use of hands-free tools that help our team complete picking and putaway tasks faster and more safely.

These kinds of innovations are essential in a market where speed, precision and flexibility are key.

Sustainability is a core part of our logistics vision. Our site in Milmort is located close to Trilogiport, a multimodal hub that connects road, water and rail transport.

By making extensive use of inland shipping, we help our clients reduce their environmental footprint while also optimising transport costs.

This approach delivers strong results, especially in sectors like food and FMCG. A significant portion of our outbound flows now moves via inland waterways. That reduces CO₂ emissions and helps avoid road congestion.

Our warehouses in Liège make us not only more efficient, but also more resilient. With strong multimodal connections, we can handle volume peaks more easily and respond faster to market shifts. During busy periods, we can double the volume flowing through our site in just a few days, with no delays or capacity issues.

For our clients, this means faster turnaround times, better delivery reliability and tailored, flexible logistics solutions.
