About the European Logistics Campus

From this continuously expanding site, Nike ships hundreds of thousands of the latest Nike products a day to a vast network of retailers and consumers across Europe and the rest of the world. A strategic location indeed, as sixty percent of purchase power is based within a range of 500 kilometers.
