known as the “20-40-50 pentagon”. This affluent area covers the industrial and consumer centres of the
Benelux, Paris and northern France, and the German Ruhr area.
The pentagon represents 20% of the EU surface area, 40% of its population and 50% of its gross national
product. In addition, 60% of European purchasing powers is located within a 500 km radius of Belgium.

Distances
Belgium is centrally located in the area; from here much of Europe can be supplied at favourable transport
costs and within feasible delivery times (24h/48h). Many European Distribution Centres (EDCs) are located in
this area.
According to several independent international surveys, Flanders (the Northern part of Belgium) scores excel-
lent results as a location for logistics and distribution activities.
World Bank: “Taking into account logistics performance indicators such as customs, infrastructure, interna-
tional shipments, logistics quality and competence, tracking & tracing and punctuality, Belgium ranks 7th in
the list of 155 countries.”
Cushman & Wakefield: “Based on key factors such as the local cost of warehousing, land and employment,
the quality of transport systems and the region’s accessibility, Belgium is the number one logistics country
in Europe.”
Financial Times: “Flanders comes second in the ranking of European regions that are most attractive for
foreign direct investment.”
Ernst & Young: “Belgium is an excellent location for headquarters and logistics operations.”
