Logistics company Logexpert has won an €40 mln contract from Croatian FMCG distributor Orbico Group for the construction of a new logistics centre near Zagreb, Croatia.
The Zdencina Logistic Park, located in the economic zone of Zdencina, will consist of three buildings with a total area of 110,000 m2.
The first phase of the project foresees the construction of 42,000 m2 of modern warehouse space, to be followed by another 20,000 m2 in the second phase, is offering various possibilities for storing goods in ambient and temperature controlled conditions.
Initially, Orbico’s distribution centre will be equipped with a fully automated shuttle system for B2B and B2C customers, and in later phases, fully autonomous robotic systems will be added.
The project will follow the latest standards in construction and environmental protection, including the installation of solar panels on all buildings, producing a total of 7 MW of green energy.
Branko Roglic, owner of the Orbico Group, said: ‘This centre will be our largest and most modern logistics center of all that we have in 20 countries. We have opened similar, albeit somewhat smaller, logistics centers in Poland and Bulgaria in recent years, and we expect this one to be the bearer of development and innovation just like the previous ones.’
Deputy Prefect of the Zagreb County, Ervin Kolarec, added: ‘What makes us a promising area for investment is certainly our geographical position and the fact that important European corridors pass through our area.’
Completion of the new logistics distribution center is planned for March 2024.
