The top tier provider for the automotive sector secured a wide 14,735 sqm for a 10-year period in the industrial park developed and owned by Globalworth and Global Vision.
The new lease signifies that Mureș City Logistics, a joint venture light industrial park by Globalworth and Global Vision, is now fully occupied, marking a significant achievement for both real estate companies. It also signals confidence in Târgu Mureș as an emerging hub for logistics and light industry.

We are proudly welcoming EKR into our business community,” said Sorin Preda, CEO and Founder of Global Vision.
