Fiege is to build a new logistics centre in Zülpich, North Rhine-Westphalia, for its healthcare unit. Located centrally in the tri-city area of Cologne-Bonn-Aachen, the multi-user centre will be 54,000 sq m. Construction has started and is expected to be complete in summer 2021. Fiege will itself operate the facility for various clients. The investment for the new project totals around €50m. From Zülpich, Fiege will be supplying healthcare facilities such as hospitals or specialist retailers of medical products with equipment from a range of pharmaceutical clients Europe-wide.
For the first construction phase, Fiege purchased a 100,000 sq m area at the An der Römerallee industrial estate in Zülpich.
“Construction will be completed in just under a year. By then, Zülpich will have become a new and key location for our growing Healthcare business unit”, Jan Fiege, Managing Director Real Estate stated. “The plot of land in Zülpich was a good match for what we were looking for. It is conveniently located to the A1 and A61 motorways.”
The construction phase will create a minimum of 250 additional full-time jobs in Zülpich. The option given to Fiege to purchase the adjacent industrial area gives Zülpich the prospect of this number increasing even more over the years to come.
