Alpha Industrial has announced the handover of its first distribution centre in Germany for the retail company TK Maxx. Alpha Industrial realized all groundwork and assembly work as well as the interior construction and the design of the outdoor facilities of the new building at Bergheim.

The property comprising 48,000 m2 of space - 45,000 m2 in the distribution and processing centre plus pallet store - was delivered in just six months. The new location will serve TK Maxx from December 2010 onwards to supply all shops in Germany. TK Maxx will create 1,000 new jobs at Bergheim.

Alpha Industrial and TK Maxx opened the distribution centre which is located in close proximity to the A61 motorway with a ceremonial act and a tour through the modern building earlier last week.

'We have developed a very strong partnership and responsive working relationship with Alpha Industrial and we are delighted to be opening this state of the art facility with them,' said Alan Porte, senior vice president Supply Chain TJX Europe.
