Gazeley, a subsidiary of Dubai-based Economic Zones World, has announced that Zufall Logistics Group, a top German forwarding and logistics services company, has signed a two-year lease extension for its existing warehouse at Fulda, Germany.

A leading provider of sustainable logistics and industrial space, Gazeley said the built-to-suit facility is mainly used for transportation logistics, and has a capacity to store up to 340,000 car and lorry tyres in a 19,000 sq m area.

Gazeley is expected to deliver an additional mezzanine floor space of 1,000 sq m to the logistics service provider. The lease agreement for the two facilities are now valid till mid 2016, said a top official.

Ingo Steves, country director Gazeley Germany said: “We are pleased to support the expansion needs of our customers in a flexible way. The present agreement is another testimony to the high quality and the excellent design of our product.”

The long-standing partnership between the two companies started in 2004, when Gazeley delivered a 10,000 sq m shed for Zufall at Erfurt, Thuringia, demonstrating its ability to deliver high-quality buildings within a tight timeframe and to an agreed cost programme.

The company went on to build another 10,000 sq m development for Zufall in 2006 at Magna Park Kassel.

Gazeley has also developed two more projects for the Zufall logistics group, comprising a total of 75,000 sq m. The third, a 19,000 sq m warehouse at Fulda, Northern Hesse was completed in May 2009, while the fourth a 36,000 sq m logistics space at G. Park Kandel near Karlsruhe n the South West of Germany.

Gazeley has so far built over 60 million sq ft of highly efficient, carbon positive logistics and industrial spaces and distribution parks across the world.
