The 19,000m2 warehouse will have a capacity of around 17,000 pallets and handle all inbound raw materials meant for Novo Nordisk’s production in Denmark.
Currently, Novo Nordisk’s facility in Hillerød employs 1,900 people and around 70 employees will work in the warehouse.
Novo Nordisk devices and supply chain management senior vice president Susanne Hundsbæk-Pedersen said: "The investment in Hillerød underpins our long-term plans to invest in Denmark. Hillerød is a strategic site in Novo Nordisk and we’re consolidating our inbound flow of materials at this site."
The warehouse is slated to be completely operational by the end of 2017.
