Co-CEO Rubin Ritter told Reuters that the company will invest 20-30 million euros ($55.87 million) in the new facility together with its partner, developer NREP Logicenters.

Ritter underscored the company's hope to gain 200-300 staff over time in the new factility, which will be operated by a local logistics partner, and is expected to open later this year - being fully ramped up in the course of 2018.

Zalando announced the plan for the new Nordic distribution hub in January, saying then it expected to invest a 2-digit million euro amount.
