Delivery & tours

Monday to Friday.
Five fixed tours.

The Gastro Center warehouse in Nordhorn serves four districts and the Dutch Twente region — on working days, on a fixed weekly choreography. Order slip by 16:00 the day before, pallet at the ramp the next day between 06:00 and 12:00. Unbroken cold chain, multi-chamber vehicles, tail lift or hand pallet truck depending on access.
