GVZ – Cargo Distribution Center
At the heart of the North Range ports
About the Business Park
The Bremen freight village is the undisputed leader among freight villages in Germany, and since 2020 also in Europe (DGG benchmark studies). One of the geographical advantages for companies based here is its ideal location to the seaports within the North Range. The Bremen freight village is a multimodal location - a huge advantage for the logistics sector. High-quality space is available in the GVZ Bremen.
The GVZ Entwicklungsgesellschaft, which represents the interests of the companies at this logistics location, ensures optimal framework conditions. Around 140 companies with over 5,200 skilled workers currently benefit from the many advantages of the GVZ Bremen.
