The Belgian art logistics company Mobull, part of the internationally active Hasenkamp Group, is currently constructing a new art warehouse on its existing site in Brussels. At the same time, the logistics service provider has expanded its operational reach to the port city of Antwerp through a company acquisition, according to a press release from Mobull on May 16.
The new warehouse building, scheduled for completion in February 2026, comprises five floors, each with 800 square meters of space. This
provides Mobull with an additional 4,000 square meters of climate-controlled storage space. The service provider aims to meet the growing demand for professional and secure art storage, it reported. Upon completion, the building will feature facilities for art logistics-related services. These will include a showroom and a restoration studio.
“With this offering, we are responding functionally and visionary to the demands of our Belgian customers,” said Marc Maertens, Managing Director of Mobull.
Mobull has come up with something special for
the facade design: A large-format, black-and-white portrait of the surrealist artist René Magritte will greet visitors and customers in the future. According to the service provider, this is a tribute to Belgian art and a striking visual statement.
The building will be heated using geothermal energy, will have solar panels on the roof, and is equipped with a gas extinguishing system that displaces oxygen in the event of a fire without causing water damage.
On April 1, 2025, Mobull acquired
the Antwerp art logistics company Scheck. The team will remain intact, and the operation now operates under the name Mobull Antwerp, according to Mobull. The aim is to strengthen the presence in the growing Antwerp art market, which is characterized by numerous museums, galleries, and private collections.
“Although Brussels and Antwerp are only an hour apart, our services in Antwerp were often not competitively priced. With the new location, we are closer to our customers – both geographically and economically,”
