A man was found sleeping inside a clothing donation container in Venlo on Friday morning, prompting a police rescue and warnings about the extreme dangers of using such bins for shelter, L1 reports.
The man was discovered by emergency responders following a call requesting assistance
but it remains unclear how long he had been inside
Police could not confirm whether the man was homeless
Local police emphasized the serious dangers of sleeping in clothing containers
despite the bins possibly appearing soft or insulated
“Sleeping in a clothing container because you have nowhere else to go: not smart and life-threatening
” a neighborhood officer in Venlo wrote on Instagram
Police cited several risks: limited oxygen supply inside the bins
the possibility of suffocation if new clothing is dropped on top of a person
and the threat of being injured or killed if the container is emptied
Most clothing containers in Venlo are emptied on a weekly or biweekly basis
“This is certainly not something we encounter on a daily basis,” a police spokesperson said
the municipality of Venlo had previously installed locks on several clothing containers after two earlier cases of people getting trapped while searching for clothes
the man on Friday still managed to get inside

GrowSpan Greenhouse Structures has announced the grand opening of its new Venlo greenhouse at their Dyersville
GrowSpan will be hosting a ribbon-cutting event on Thursday
The event will feature a formal ribbon-cutting at 1:00 p.m
providing attendees with a firsthand look at this groundbreaking addition to GrowSpan's greenhouse product line
Guests will also have the opportunity to connect with industry professionals
enjoy food and beverages and purchase fresh produce grown on-site

we have a unique opportunity to expand our reach and provide innovative solutions to both existing and new customers," said Will Hopkins
"For operations needing a structure over 15,000 square feet
backed by Dutch technology that sets the industry standard."
"Our customers look for greenhouse systems that maximize profitability
The Venlo structure will allow them to produce large harvests at the lowest cost
giving them a clear edge in the marketplace," said Tania Tomoroga
"We've always believed in the quality of our greenhouses
but the Venlo showcases GrowSpan's ingenuity," said Martina Bockenstedt
"From the initial research and development to integrating new design software
and then manufacturing and constructing a greenhouse system of this magnitude and quality
we've shown GrowSpan's ability to work collaboratively and raise the industry standard."
the facility boasts approximately 25,000 square feet of dedicated growing space
Its frame is constructed from hot-dipped galvanized steel
which is then clad with 4 mm glass on all sides and employs motorized
cable-driven climate screens for total control over light diffusion and light restriction
the structure allows around 90% of natural sunlight to come through," said Jena Jepson
"The taller roof and large open space also help create a more homogenous growing environment compared to a traditional greenhouse
and by using components like steel and glass that are better suited to harsh weather conditions
we're really able to maximize the lifespan of your investment."
Partition walls are used to divide the growing space into three distinct zones
each one tailored to an individual crop type
lettuce is produced in a deep-water cultivation system with above-ground ponds and polystyrene rafts
The second and third zones feature suspended gutter cultivation systems
incorporating drip irrigation with leachate collection to yield tomato and strawberry plants
we wanted this greenhouse to be a showcase where we could display a variety of growing systems and equipment," said Jepson
"Deciding the growing systems was based on what we are seeing as industry standard and what our customers might like to see
That also carried through to many of the equipment choices we made
as well as what new technologies were going to promote energy savings and sustainability."
provides over 10,000 square feet of supplemental production space
The lower level houses rooms for harvesting and processing
while its upper mezzanine level comes complete with an office
conference room and viewing platform to offer a panoramic look into the greenhouse's three distinct growing zones

Primever Holland is set to expand its logistics services in combination with its depot in Belgium
and Venlo for deliveries across almost all of France on an A-to-B basis," says Henk van Berkel
"We launched Primever in 2023 on a small scale in Poeldijk
Through our collaboration with Hannon Logistics
we had the opportunity to establish a cross-dock location in Westland
We started with just two people and soon added a third for pallet cross-docking
we laid the foundation with three former Mooy Logistics employees," Henk explains
trucks depart daily to our branches in Arras
and Plan d'Orgon to deliver groupage goods throughout France
The organization has since grown to eight employees at the Poeldijk location
and we are now ready for the new season with an expansion of our services."
we will expand our services to cover nearly all of France on an A-to-B basis: load today
unload tomorrow in 95% of destinations in France
This concept is similar to what Mooy Logistics previously established here
although that was at a very different time
While the process has been structured differently
the goal remains the same—to ensure timely delivery to customers
The Primever Group has grown to become the market leader in groupage transport for fruit and vegetables in France
Primever has an extensive network that makes this service possible," says Henk
"A key component in offering these services from the Netherlands is Primever Belgium's location in Courcelles
This site enables efficient grouping and execution of transport lines
Primever has been active in Belgium for years through its Transport Guidez site in northern France
the Primever Belgium site in Courcelles has been added," the logistics provider explains
"This branch also allows services to be offered from the southern Netherlands without first transporting volumes to Westland
services from the southern Netherlands will initially be launched from the Venlo
transporting goods efficiently to France via Courcelles is entirely feasible
but requests from these areas can already be accommodated."
"Venlo is a key region for fruit and vegetable logistics
and customers have frequently inquired about trading with France from this location
there was no direct connection to large parts of France
That is precisely the gap we aim to fill with this new service
We will promote the new line at the trade fair in Berlin and hope for significant interest in the opportunities it presents
I would almost say the possibilities are endless—but of course
with deliveries to the Corbas market serving as a great example," Henk proudly concludes

GrowSpan Greenhouse Structures will formally launch its latest state-of-the-art Venlo greenhouse facility at Grospan's Iowa campus
"This greenhouse is a testament to cutting-edge technology and engineering – it has been a labor of love
with no expense spared," says Will Hopkins
"Developed with GrowSpan's top-tier HVAC and agricultural technology experts
This greenhouse won't only showcase our expertise in practice
but it will also actually produce a variety of crops."
GrowSpan has been building Venlo greenhouses for over seven years
but this particular project began its research and design phase five years ago
with construction starting over one year ago
The result is a highly sophisticated facility featuring three independently controlled environments optimized for different crop types: one for leafy greens
"This precision allows for tailored climate control
ensuring optimal growth conditions for each crop," Will points out
GrowSpan wants to show growers all the horti knowledge the company has gained over years active in the industry
Spanning 25,000 square feet of dedicated growing space
the entire greenhouse complex covers approximately one acre
The facility is not only a research and development hub but also an active producer
with surplus yields being distributed locally
Showcases expertise in greenhouse design The structure showcases a unique powder-coated galvanized steel structure
which has significantly reduced ambient temperatures within the growing area
"This design innovation enhances energy efficiency and contributes to improved crop yields." Steel was indeed one of the main things the company wanted to address
"One the main goals was to use the appropriate amount of steel
without overkilling it to not drive the cost up
The greenhouse is really dialed in to use the perfect amount of steel
we have used a very high-end design software." This was not an easy feat to accomplish
considering they had to take into consideration the roof needed to be strong enough to withstand heavy snow loads
Each environment leverages natural sunlight when possible
The leafy greens are cultivated using a hydroponic floating raft system
while the strawberries are grown in Jiffy's Finesse Growbags with 50% coco pith and 50% husk chip
are grown in Grodan Vital Slabs designed to optimize growth and yield
so we wanted enough flexibility to switch crops if necessary."
"We do not use any chemical pesticides," says Will
"Biological control is most effective when you can get a healthy population of good bugs in your growing area before the pests become a problem
Being proactive rather than reactive is key
The type of good bug varies greatly on what pests are present
Ribbon-cutting ceremony To celebrate the opening of the Venlo greenhouse
GrowSpan is hosting a grand opening event open to the community
"Attendees will include industry professionals
and cannabis industry stakeholders," Will remarks
GrowSpan will be busy prepping for its first summer in operation
eager to assess the greenhouse's performance under warm-weather conditions

A 50-year-old man from the municipality of Horst en Maas was shot dead on a parking lot in Venlo on Monday afternoon. The police are looking for witnesses
First responders tried to resuscitate the victim
The shooting happened in front of the building that houses the local youth care office and Veilig Thuis, the center that supports domestic abuse victims. A police spokesperson told NOS that the shooting seems unrelated to these agencies
“It’s just pure coincidence,” the spokesperson said
adding that the offices were also closed on Easter Monday
Op maandag 21 april vond er rond de klok van 17:15 uur een schietincident plaats bij de Prinsenstraat in #Venlo. Het slachtoffer – een 50-jarige man uit de gemeente Horst aan de Maas – kwam daarbij te overlijden. Er zijn nog geen verdachten aangehouden.https://t.co/kylmbyH0fK pic.twitter.com/ARDeObZGLI
So far, no arrests have been made. The police have little idea of what happened, saying they are looking for one or more suspects with no descriptions. Investigators asked witnesses or locals with relevant camera footage to come forward.
The incident happened in broad daylight. “A lot of people saw it happen, it was Easter Monday. It certainly had an impact on the neighborhood,” the police spokesperson told NOS. Victim support was made available for witnesses.

2025 Lorries parked overnight at a truck stop
Photo: DepositphotosTruck drivers working in the Netherlands for companies based in other EU countries are being exploited by unscrupulous employers
The FNV has highlighted the case of four drivers from Central Asia who have been protesting for weeks at a truckers’ rest area in Venlo
The men say they have had their wages withheld by their Lithuanian-based employers and their trucks have been remotely disabled
forcing them to light gas burners in their cabs to keep warm
EU rules allow haulage firms to hire drivers from third countries to transport goods across the 27-nation bloc
but while in the Netherlands they must comply with Dutch labour laws on minimum wages
“We are concerned about the safety of these drivers and the human rights violations that are taking place here,” FNV union official Edwin Atema told NU.nl
The men say they have come under pressure to manipulate the tachographs in their trucks that monitor their speed
They also claim they were instructed to lie to police and border officials
Atema claimed that their employers sent an eight-strong hit squad to force the drivers to end their protest against exploitation and intimidation
The men also say they have had crucial documents including work permits withheld
“One of my union colleagues was threatened and had his phone snatched,” he said
“We called the police and they stepped in.”
The FNV says labour inspectors are struggling to keep up with the growing problem of exploitation in the sector.
In January a driver from Uzbekistan was recognised as a victim of human trafficking by the Dutch labour inspectorate.
The man, who was working for the Lithuanian-based firm Baltic Transline, parked his truck in Venlo and refused to continue, claiming he had not received his full salary once in the six months he had worked for the company.
“Walk round a truck stop and nine of the 10 drivers are from outside the EU,” Atema said. “Their employers ignore the rules and don’t observe the working conditions that apply here, because they know they’ll get away with it.”
A spokesman for the labour inspectorate told NU.nl it was aware of the situation in Venlo. “Our colleagues have visited the site several times to investigate and gain more insight into the situation,” the spokesman said. “Up until now we have not reached any definitive outcome or conclusion.”

A man was killed in a fatal accident on the A74 highway Saturday evening when he was struck by a vehicle as he attempted to cross the road near Tegelen, just south of Venlo. The collision occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m., prompting an immediate closure of both lanes of the highway between Venlo and the German border.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene from his injuries. Authorities said he had been attempting to cross the fast-moving highway when the crash occurred. Police have yet to clarify why the man was on the road, though they have opened an investigation into the incident. Among the possible causes under review is the theory of suicide, according to a police spokeswoman.
In the aftermath of the first crash, traffic was backed up on the A74, which led to a secondary collision involving two other vehicles. Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the follow-up accident, although both cars involved sustained significant damage. Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the secondary crash occurred, working to clear the wreckage and reopen the highway.
At the time of the fatal collision, there were no border control checks taking place on the highway, a factor that may have contributed to the confusion surrounding the incident. The road was closed for several hours while authorities conducted an investigation, leading to major traffic disruptions in the area.
The A74 is a key route connecting the Netherlands with Germany, and the closure during peak evening hours affected many travelers.
Authorities have not released further details about the man’s identity, but local police confirmed they are working to gather more information. The investigation into the cause of the crash remains ongoing as officers continue to explore all possibilities.
The highway reopened after midnight, but traffic remained slow for several hours as the impact of the accident was felt across the region.

The police arrested five teenagers for beating up a 16-year-old boy in Venlo “due to his sexual orientation.” The suspects are between the ages of 13 and 18
“The reason for the assault was a rumor that was a rumor that was spread about the victim,” the police said
The group surrounded the 16-year-old and punched and kicked him
One of them was already under house arrest
The other four suspects were released after questioning to await their day in court
The one with the ankle monitor is still in custody pending a remand hearing

2024 was Ad Pollux's second year at the helm of cash-and-carry wholesaler Eurofresh at Fresh Park Venlo
The managing director reflects on a successful year for the company
which celebrated its 25th anniversary earlier in the year
I was able to shape the business even more to my liking
the closure of the wholesale market in Düsseldorf may bring additional growth opportunities for Fresh Park Venlo
but I believe it will become even more significant
such as farm shops that purchase 10-15 packages of goods daily
I also expect the customer base from the Lower Rhine region to grow further
We are a wholesaler where even small purchases—spending just fifty euros at the till—are welcome
All those small customers together make a big one."
Christmas sales remain a significant focus for Eurofresh's customers
"Specialty items like mushrooms and herbs are particularly in demand
We're already seeing a slight uptick in sales today
and this will only increase as the week progresses."
While weather extremes posed challenges to product availability this year
"We primarily source imported fruit from fellow Dutch companies
but we also have direct supply lines to Spain

How will we feed the world in 2050 in a sustainable and healthy way
Maastricht University will start looking for answers on October 8th in a new
environmentally friendly greenhouse on the Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo
Scientists will develop climate-resilient crops and agricultural techniques there
bolstering the North Limburg region's position as a major player in food production
The greenhouse spans 1,600 m² and features multiple rooms and climate chambers
allowing researchers to investigate the optimal growth of crops under various climatic conditions
The greenhouse itself is a model of sustainability; it does not use fossil fuels and is outfitted with renewable energy for climate control and lighting systems

In 2007 it was decided that all new city buildings would be designed using C2C principles.
The design of Venlo City Hall began in 2009. Construction commenced in 2012 and was completed in April 2016. The building opened for use in August 2016.
While the primary focus for this initiative was in the built environment, it was driven by the aims of capturing long-term economic savings, protecting the environment and human health, and promoting skills and ambition in the city.
The city council’s allocated budget for the project was EUR 53 million. It was supported by a loan from Bank Nederlandse Gemeenten - a local government funding agency. When the project came in under budget, EUR 900,000 were returned to the city council for reinvestment in other areas.
In line with EU regulations, a European design tender was issued, with a brief to provide the most innovative vision for a C2C town hall. The winning bid would need to meet the overarching ambition to design and build a space that would benefit people, the environment, and the economy.
Venlo City Hall was built on the edge of the River Meuse in an area that would benefit from regeneration and economic development. The new building has already catalysed renovation of an old neighbourhood factory which now contains living accommodation.
The building’s living north facade comprises over 100 plant varieties which serve to improve the air quality outside the building. This living facade not only converts carbon dioxide to oxygen and filters particulates, it also provides a level of noise insulation and creates a habitat for birds and insects. An interior green wall helps to add moisture to the air inside the building.
The building’s connections to natural systems also minimises the draw on resources. Rainwater is collected on the roof where it makes its way to a helophyte filter, a type of reed bank, along with wash basin and pantry water. The filtered water is then used for flushing toilets. In addition, 1,300 m2 of solar panels have been added to the exterior to provide power and shade.
In a similar vein, the furniture in the building is also provided under a ‘buy and buy-back’ arrangement and is easy to disassemble for maintenance, ensuring workable components can be reused. Material choices within the furniture facilitate recyclabilityrecyclabilityThe ease with which a material can be recycled in practice and at scale..
Certain materials have also been avoided - in this case paint and glue, in part due to the lack of ingredient transparency and in part to ensure material health and aid the future recovery of materials.
It is already known that the building’s green facade absorbs 30% of sulphur and nitrogen oxides in the air in the vicinity of the building, offsetting the emissions of particulate matter from local traffic.
To establish a baseline measure against which to track progress, measurements were taken from the previous city hall such as air quality, temperature, air moisture and fine dust particles. The University of Maastricht is also measuring the connection between improved air quality and the reduction in the number of employee sick days compared to those in other buildings.
Developing a long-term vision. In 2006 Venlo officially embraced C2C principles in its building projects as a means of generating innovation and economic growth. This paved the way for C2C principles to play a central role in the tender for the new Venlo City Hall. By embracing a new approach Venlo has been able to showcase what is possible in how we can build, design and service the built environment.

The truck charging specialist Milence is planning its second charging hub in the Netherlands
The joint venture is already present in Venlo near the Dutch-German border
A second location is due to open in Zwolle in the province of Overijssel in December
plans to install a new charging hub in the Hessenpoort industrial estate in Zwolle
The company describes the location as a logistics hub with a large number of logistics and distribution centres
production facilities and service providers
The industrial estate is also close to the A28 and A50 motorways and is an important hub in the North Sea-Baltic corridor
which connects important seaports such as Rotterdam and Hamburg
the company is developing the charging hub in two stages
which can supply electric lorries in eight charging bays
phase one this time still includes the subsequent installation of an MCS charger
which will be assigned to two charging bays
the charging offer will be flanked by sanitary facilities
a drivers’ lounge and vending machines with drinks and snacks
the facility will then be extended to include additional MCS chargers and up to 16 charging bays
Milence is also planning to install additional sanitary facilities and vending machines
Milence CEO Anja van Niersen is convinced that the new charging hub forms a good basis with the combination of the charging station already in operation in Venlo and the recently opened charging station in the port of Antwerp-Bruges
“With the already operational charging hub in Venlo and the recent opening of the hub in Port of Antwerp-Bruges
the network expansion in the Benelux region will provide a robust support to logistics companies and shippers and will enable the operation of multiple electric routes
thereby helping these businesses achieve their sustainability goals.”

2022 / 3BL Media/ — Arrow Electronics designed its state-of-the-art Primary Distribution Center in Venlo (The Netherlands) to drive efficiency
near the convergence of a network of seaports
the Venlo district is one of Europe’s most important logistics hubs
“Venlo is one of the world’s most advanced warehouses
Its sustainable design reflects our commitment to waste reduction and reducing our carbon footprint,” said Chuck Kostalnick
senior vice president and chief supply chain officer at Arrow
Spanning 90,000 square meters – roughly the size of 10 soccer fields – the new PDC was constructed with sustainable building materials
rainwater harvesting and solar panels that generate enough electricity to power 1,900 homes
Environmentally conscientious features include:
The Venlo PDC also is designed to reduce packaging waste – a priority in a facility that features 78 truck loading docks
The packing material that is used is made with 100% paper
Venlo’s automatic carton-forming machine constantly feeds the packing stations with ready-made standard-sized cartons
which has reduced carton diversity from 15 to 4 to reduce waste and increase efficiency
Cartons are gauged and adjusted by machine based on the maximum height of the product before being folded automatically and sealed with glue
creates a tightly fitting carton that is stronger and better sealed
and reduces the amount of packing material needed
This also allows for more boxes per pallet
which reduces the number of truck deliveries as well as the amount of packaging waste that customers handle after they receive their shipments
The building is certified “Green” with BREEAM accreditation through the Dutch Green Building Council
The PDC has also achieved the WELL Building Gold Standard through the International WELL Building Institute
Arrow’s Venlo PDC opened in July. Results of its efficient performance and Arrow’s sustainability commitment in the technology supply chain will be featured in the company’s annual ESG report
