GLP has signed a new lease agreement with De Rijke España, a logistics company specialising in the storage and distribution of industrial chemicals, to be installed at G-Park Santa Perpetua, located 30 minutes from Barcelona. Through this agreement, the Dutch logistics operator will consolidate its previous operations in the Catalan region into one strategic location.
G-Park Santa Perpetua, located in the Vallés Occidental region, has been selected by De Rijke to enhance its operations in Spain. The choice of this location allows the company to centralise its operations, merging its warehouses and activities to improve efficiency in loading capacity, warehousing and logistics services, and promoting more dynamic and effective management.
Storage capacity will increase by more than 40% with the 14,348 square metre logistics facility, from 9,000 to 13,000 locations. The project will also have a positive impact on job creation, with De Rijke expanding its team with multi-skilled employees specialised in warehousing and transport.
Its location, close to Barcelona, provides quick access to the AP-7 motorway and several dual carriageways, facilitating connections to essential infrastructure and to the international transport network via the Josep Tarradellas Barcelona - El Prat international airport.
The facility has 15 loading bays, a height of 11.7 metres, less than 50% occupancy, parking and 600 square metres of office space. This warehouse, the first LPG warehouse in Spain to obtain BREEAM Excellent certification, is equipped to support a photovoltaic project, has LED lighting and a BMS system for monitoring and optimising energy consumption.
"At De Rijke Group, we have set out to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030. We have integrated a sustainability strategy into our business operations. Acquiring a BREEAM-certified warehouse aligns with our values and supports our commitment to a sustainable future," says Schreuders.
Óscar Heras, director of GLP Spain, indicates that this collaboration underlines his company's commitment to offering high quality logistics solutions and reaffirms its position in the logistics warehouse market. He expresses his enthusiasm to contribute to De Rijke's growth in the region and to maintain its role as a reliable partner in Catalonia and Spain.
The transaction of this infrastructure, built by GSE, was advised by Forcadell for De Rijke and BNP Paribas Real Estate for GLP.
