Jungheinrich Belgium and specialist transport operator All Exeptional brought a new logistics hub online in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw on 3 August 2026, and the way the 3,800 square metre site is run leans heavily on RFID. The building’s logistics organisation is built around an RFID zoning scheme covering 41 signalling points and more than 70 identified storage and operational locations.
Sint-Pieters-Leeuw sits just south-west of Brussels, which is the point. Jungheinrich’s Belgian base is in Leuven, on the other side of the capital, so the new hub gives the forklift and warehouse equipment supplier a second anchor covering the west of the country and shorter, better organised transport runs to customers there.
What the RFID zoning actually does
Warehouse zoning of this kind divides a floor into discrete, addressable areas so that every parked machine, staged order and work-in-progress item is recorded against a known location instead of a whiteboard or a driver’s memory. With more than 70 identified positions and 41 signalling points (signalisatiepunten in the Dutch original) across a 3,800 square metre floor, the site is being treated as a live location map rather than as a single storage volume, which matters when the stock in question is forklifts and reach trucks that move under their own power and do not sit neatly on pallet racking.
Jungheinrich has not said which air interface, tag type or reader vendor is in use at the site, and the announcement makes no claim about a standard. As general context, location and zone identification schemes in intralogistics are commonly built on passive UHF tags read from fixed points or from truck mounted readers, with floor mounted transponders more typical where the job is guidance rather than identification. Which of those applies in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw is not stated.
Alongside equipment storage, the hub centralises preparation, operational handling and quality control. It also houses a photo room fitted out for shooting used equipment for digital listings, and a multifunctional office used for customer visits and the administrative side of equipment handling.
From transport contract to shared site
The two companies started working together in 2025, when All Exeptional was appointed to move Jungheinrich equipment around Belgium. Splitting the work along lines of expertise, with Jungheinrich on its core activities and All Exeptional on specialised handling, storage and transport, is what the partners expect to deliver cost efficiency gains, helped by All Exeptional having its infrastructure and resources on the same site.
“With this hub we optimise logistics processes; thanks to All Exeptional’s expertise we create more efficient flows and greater customer flexibility,” said Harm de Vries, Managing Director of Jungheinrich Belgium.
Erwin Hemels, Managing Partner of All Exeptional, said the expansion “confirms mutual trust and enables us to better support Jungheinrich in the Belgian market.”
Both sides also point to sustainability. All Exeptional has invested in Volvo FH Aero tractor units for lower fuel consumption, and solar panels are going in at Sint-Pieters-Leeuw. All Exeptional is a Belgian specialist in heavy load and machine transport and crane work, with more than 25 years behind it and VCA safety certification.
