Prologis, Inc., today announced it has signed a 15-year leasing agreement for a 13,900-square-metre build-to-suit facility in Prologis Park Bratislava with TOMRA. Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2014.
TOMRA Sorting, a Slovakia-based company owned by Norwegian parent company TOMRA Systems ASA, creates sensor-based technologies for sorting, peeling and process analytics for the fresh and processed food industry. It will use the facility to assemble machinery for customers such as Pepsico, McCain, Wendt and Lamb Weston Boardman. When complete, the new facility will accommodate approximately 180 TOMRA employees.
In addition to the standard build out the facility will be equipped with a crane and tracks, two internal docks for side loading, additional skylights comprising 10 percent of the roof area, a compressed air distribution system, and an external canopy.
“We are delighted to support TOMRA’s growth through the delivery of a state-of-the-art production facility,” said Ben Bannatyne, managing director and regional head, Prologis Central & Eastern Europe. “By understanding their needs, we were able to put together a proposal which combines a prime location, tailored solutions, and a high quality fit and finish.”
Prologis is the leading provider of industrial space in Slovakia with three parks providing 430,000 square metres of distribution space in Bratislava (Senec), Galanta (Gan) and Nove Mesto as of September 30, 2013.
