VIENNA-BASED forwarder cargo-partner held a groundbreaking ceremony recently as it began construction of a new warehouse near Slovenia's Ljubljana Airport to be open for business next year.
'We are investing in Slovenia because we believe that this special location near the ports of Koper and Trieste will remain an important gateway to Asia and the Mediterranean Sea as well as to former Yugoslavia, Transylvania, Hungary, Austria, southern Germany and parts of northern Italy,' said cargo-partner CEO Stefan Krauter.
The iLogistics Centre will provide 25,000 square metres of storage space, as well as 6,000 square metres of small parts and single-pick area, 5,000 square metres of cross dock and block storage space and 4,000 square metres of office space.
To be furnished with over 20,000 pallet slots and 44 truck docks, the site is located right next to Ljubljana Airport.
The groundbreaking event for the facility was organised in co-operation with the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO) and was attended by the director of Avantage Austria Ljubljana, Peter Hasslacher, the Slovenian minister of economic development and technology, Zdravko Pocival?ek, as well as representatives of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce.
Said Mr Hasslacher: 'Cargo-partner has proven again and again to be ambitious, highly successful, reliable and trustworthy'. He applauded the company's 'significant investment in Slovenia'.
