In the modern world, production and supply chain processes built on sustainable, tailored solutions are a must. Toyota Tsusho Europe SA (TTESA) has acted on this principle, moving into a new, Built-To-Suit space at Prologis Park Pilsen II, a logistics park which serves as a gateway to major consumer markets throughout Central Europe.
TTESA’s new space at Pilsen II comprises a total of 15,300 square meters, with the company to occupy 8,745 square meters initially before expanding into the remaining 6,555 square meters.
The BTS development will allow TTESA to benefit from excellent transport connectivity to markets in both the Czech Republic and abroad. The Pilsen area in which the park is located is seen as the Czech Republic’s closest link to Western Europe, providing convenient road connections to major cities in eastern Germany as well as Austria.
“This base in Pilsen provides us with the perfect location to serve domestic and international markets. Our emphasis on sustainable, efficient supply chain operations was reflected in our requirements for this modern logistics facility, and we appreciated Prologis’ dedicated approach in fulfilling our requirements for the creation of the space and its delivery,” according to TTESA.
Advanced solutions for logistics efficiency
TTESA’s Build-To-Suit space at Prologis Park Pilsen II features the latest in advanced logistics real estate solutions boosting operational efficiency – including in utilities consumption. The building features mineral wool insulation in the roof of over 3,000 cubic meters, and façade insultation of 1,000 cubic meters. Heat is distributed efficiently throughout the space thanks to the use of heat pumps.
The customer also benefits from an advanced, energy-efficient LED lighting system with motion and daylight sensors, as well as smart metering systems for easy monitoring and control of utilities consumption. Specific solutions for efficient supply chain operations include wheel blocks for trucks and a floor load capacity of 5 tons per square meter.
Like all new Prologis developments, the new DC2 building will be submitted for BREEAM environmental certification.
“It has been a pleasure to work with TTESA, bringing into being this modern logistics space in a vital region serving the company’s European operations. Pilsen provides a bridge between markets in the Czech Republic and Germany, two of the world’s automotive industry powerhouses. It is a highly fitting place for TTESA to locate its new, tailored logistics space,” comments David Jakeš.
Providing access to one of the Czech Republic’s major labor pools in the city of Pilsen, customer’s employees at Prologis Park Pilsen II will benefit from Prologis’ PARKlifeTM initiative boosting quality of life. In the Czech Republic, this includes the creation of copious green outdoor spaces for rest and relaxation, electric car charging stations encouraging sustainable travel, and seasonal activities such as a popular summer ice cream tour.
“From day one, we have been committed to working together with TTESA to meet the company’s specific needs. The result is a modern logistics space in a very special location. We are looking forward to continuing our cooperation on a day-to-day basis, providing our customer with everything they need to make the most of the potential opened up by Prologis Park Pilsen II,” says Anna Jůzová, Leasing Manager at Prologis.
Combining great opportunities created by a strong local labor market, excellent connectivity with markets through Central Europe, and efficient logistics real estate solutions, TTESA’s new space will turbocharge its operations. Whether it’s providing tailored solutions, working with customers to deliver their ideal space, or providing access to the markets that matter most, business acceleration is… Made in Prologis.
