Facts About the Logistics Center at Muggensturm
- 16,000 cubic meters of concrete
The Project
In close collaboration with the municipality, Prologis converted former agricultural areas in Muggensturm into an industrial park. The site is located directly off the A5 highway. As a result, the logistics facility is well connected to the local transport infrastructure and easily accessible by public transportation.
The new site will be used by the cosmetics manufacturer L'Oréal and be L'Oréal Group’s largest distribution center worldwide, increasing the capacity of the company’s existing distribution facility in Karlsruhe by 50 percent. All employees from the old location will continue to have employment at the new logistics center and L'Oréal will supply its markets in Germany, Austria and Switzerland from Muggensturm.
The carbon-neutral logistics center is being developed with a focus on sustainability. Prologis is equipping the facility with reinforced insulation and a 2.0-megawatt peak photovoltaic system, among other features, such as renewable energy generated from wind turbines. Rainwater will be used to irrigate the green spaces and clean the halls.
Before Prologis received the building permit for the logistics facility in Muggensturm, we defined and implemented detailed wildlife protection measures, replacing habitats for reptiles and amphibians, such as natterjack toads, in the rainwater collection basins and green spaces. In addition, we are installing vegetated replacement habitat for skylarks on the roof.
What's in the Box?
For L'Oréal, Prologis developed the largest logistics center of the cosmetics manufacturer worldwide. With more than 100,000 square meters of space, the facility offers extensive storage areas for a wide variety of products.
