‘Area Industrial & Logistics’ to Build New Industrial Warehouse for Endutex Ibérica

12 December 2017 – Cadena de Suministro

Area Industrial & Logistics will be the property developer responsible for constructing the new headquarters of the Portuguese company Endutex Ibérica under the “turnkey” modality. The building is going to be constructed on a land with a surface area of 6,410 m2 in the SUP I-3 Sector “Puerta de Madrid” located in the town of San Fernando de Henares.

This plot is the result of the segregation that the property developer carried out of a larger block measuring 26,387 m2, on which Area has already successfully built one turnkey project involving a 7,500 m2 cross docking warehouse for XPO Logistics. With this operation, the property developer company Area Industrial & Logistics will manage to complete the total development of the aforementioned block, which has a combined land surface area of 26,378 m2 and a total constructed surface area of 11,622 m2.

The future headquarters of the company Endutex Ibérica will comprise a total warehouse surface area of 3,507 m2, used for storing supports for digital printing and the manufacturing of tarpaulins, the Portuguese company’s main activity. Similarly, it will have an office measuring 615 m2, spread over 3 floors, which will feature a ground floor space measuring 115 m2 that Endutex will use as a showroom for the display and sale of its products to customers.

The total approximate investment in this new turnkey project contracted by Area Industrial & Logistics is €3.4 million and construction is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2019.
