Gazeley, the global provider of sustainable logistics space, has handed over a 10,000m2 shed to Axthelm + Zufall, the transport and logistics services provider.

The new warehouse is located at Nohra, close to Erfurt, and will be used for the storing and packing of high-tech electronic components before they are supplied to customers across Germany and the rest of Europe.

Axthelm + Zufall is a subsidiary of Zufall logistics group. The latest deal is the third that has been struck with Gazeley and represents a long-term partnership with the Zufall group.

Ingo Steves, Country Director of Gazeley Germany GmbH, commented: “This project is further evidence of our excellent relationship with the Zufall group. In light of the present economic climate it’s particularly important that our customers can rely on Gazeley to effectively deliver a project within budget and the agreed time period. Today’s announcement demonstrates our ability to meet these requirements.”

Joachim Werner of Axthelm + Zufall said: “The new Gazeley warehouse meets our strategic needs due to the state-of-the-art technology employed, as well as the fact that there is the option to extend to 20,000m2. This fits the group’s expansion strategy which will also benefit the regional labour market.”
At present Gazeley is developing two more projects for the Zufall logistics group, comprising a total of 50,000m2. The first, a 19,000m2 shed at Fulda, will be completed in March 2009, while the second will be a 32,000m2 logistics space at G. Park Kandel near Karlsruhe.
