Geodis is investing in a new dedicated 55,000 sqm warehouse in Torija in the province of Guadalajara (Spain). Located about one hour from the centre of Madrid on the main highway to the industrial city of Zaragoza, the warehouse, which features 55 loading bays and a capacity for around 50,000 pallets, is to be used for e-commerce fulfilment.
While Geodis already has sites in Palencia and Burgos to provide contract logistics services, the Torija facility will its first project in Spain to offer supply chain management services specifically tailored to e-commerce retailers.
“As a retail channel, e-commerce had a 58% market penetration in 2021, meaning over half of Spain’s population bought at least one product online last year,” Iván Sánchez Intxaurbe, the group’s managing director for Spain pointed out. (sh)
