CTP has handed over a newly completed 18,000 sqm industrial and logistics building in CTPark Žatec to FIEGE s.r.o., a provider of comprehensive logistics and transport services in Europe. In addition, in April 2024, the companies signed an agreement to expand FIEGE’s lease by almost 6,000 sqm in the same building. From this location, FIEGE will store and subsequently distribute tyres for retail clients from the Czech Republic, Moravia and Slovakia.
This is FIEGE’s third location in the CTP portfolio, following existing leases in Poland and the Czech Republic. After FIEGE takes over its additional space of almost 6,000 sqm in the fourth quarter of this year, the total occupied space in all CTP parks will reach 65,000 sqm.
The new regional distribution centre in CTPark Žatec is used to store Nexen Tire Europe (division OE) tyres and supply them to car manufacturing plants across Europe. CTP has specially adapted the premises for storing tyres in transport cages. FIEGE will provide complete logistics services at CTPark Žatec for Nexen Tire Europe, which has its European production facility nearby. In the warehouse, which CTP is now preparing, FIEGE will provide full services for retail customers.
“When we signed the contract with CTP, we knew it was a major step in our strategy to strengthen our logistics operations in Europe as we seek to move closer to our customers, just as our clients are moving their production closer to their core markets. We are therefore very pleased that we have been able to prepare a highly modern facility in CTPark Žatec in cooperation with CTP and now we can fully start operations in the new distribution centre. Žatec offers us an excellent geographical location and the successful cooperation with CTP convinced us to expand our operations in this location with additional premises,” explained David Peterka, Head of Business Development at FIEGE.
“We are very pleased to be working with FIEGE on our third project. This is a confirmation that we can respond effectively to the specific needs of our clients and maintain their trust in the long term. At the same time, I am pleased that this project highlights the strategic importance of the CTPark Žatec site, which, thanks to its convenient location, is becoming a key point for distribution flows across Europe,” said Jakub Kodr, Managing Director and Commercial Director of CTP in the Czech Republic.
In the new distribution centre, FIEGE will store tyres in transport cages rather than the traditional racking. CTP’s experience and flexibility ensured the necessary adjustments to the project, given the strict fire and safety requirements that this type of storage requires. Fire sections were modified and better sprinkler heads (K360) were installed. Both CTP and FIEGE, which are committed to sustainable logistics in their strategy, are committed to high levels of sustainability and energy efficiency, which is why CTP constructed the building to achieve BREEAM New Construction Sustainability Certification at an Excellent level.
“It’s a pleasure to see plans turn into reality. In the beginning, FIEGE had very specific requirements for a site with a connection to the Nexen Tire Europe production facility. Together with CTP and FIEGE, we managed to find a great combination of logistical needs and industrial possibilities in CTPark Žatec. And now FIEGE has taken over the premises from CTP and will further expand its facilities in this location. We are glad to have helped find this unique solution with our strategic consulting and to strengthen our long-term partnerships,” adds Markéta Vrbasová, Director of Industrial Leasing at KNIGHT FRANK Czech Republic.
