Starting on the warehouse floor
At Wärtsilä in Zwolle, I worked on an automated warehouse with SSI Schäfer and TGW. I provided Dutch-language guidance and training before either supplier had a local presence.

I am Thijs van Wenum. For over 20 years, I have connected warehouse automation, service and people.

At Wärtsilä in Zwolle, I worked on an automated warehouse with SSI Schäfer and TGW. I provided Dutch-language guidance and training before either supplier had a local presence.
After seven years, I built a local service organisation at SSI Schäfer. I later led Benelux service. Developing teams became an important part of my work.
I helped build the automated warehouse for Apo Logistics and supported the handover of a major Dematic food and beverage project in Belgium.
Technology interests me. Working with people gives me energy. Through Dutch Warehouse Consultancy, I help organisations choose what moves their installation and team forward.
