ARGAN Partners with CELIO for Sustainable Expansion
In an exciting development for the logistics and real estate sectors, ARGAN has joined forces with CELIO to embark on a significant expansion project. This new extension, measuring 12,000 square meters, will enhance CELIO's site by bringing the total area to a substantial 55,000 square meters. This strategic move not only reflects the ongoing growth of CELIO but also represents a commitment to environmental sustainability through the Aut0nom® certification.
A Look Back: The Beginning of a Successful Partnership
The collaboration between ARGAN and CELIO began in 2012 with the delivery of a 31,000 square meter logistics hub in Amblainville. Over the years, this location has become integral to CELIO's operations, serving as its sole European logistics platform. The site has seen expansions since its initial launch, including a major enhancement in 2017 and now this latest development aimed at boosting its capacity and efficiency.
Commitment to Long-term Operations
CELIO has demonstrated a solid commitment to its logistics operations in Amblainville, reflected in its investment in site mechanization and expansion. The introduction of a new 10-year firm lease signifies both companies' dedication to a long-term partnership and to optimizing operations in this vital location.
Innovative Environmental Solutions
With the new extension, ARGAN and CELIO are taking bold steps toward sustainability. The site will incorporate state-of-the-art Aut0nom® technologies, which are pivotal in enhancing energy efficiency and lowering carbon emissions. A photovoltaic power plant, boasting a capacity of 400 kWp, will be installed to ensure that CELIO benefits from self-generated energy. This is complemented by advanced storage batteries capable of holding 250 MWh, highlighting their commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Reducing Carbon Footprint
This initiative will result in a remarkable fourfold reduction in CO? emissions, showcasing the effectiveness of transitioning to high-efficiency electric heat pumps. The significance of this project is underscored by Julie Schaf, CELIO’s Supply Chain Director, who emphasized the site's evolution supporting their growth and aligning with their strong environmental values. ARGAN's proactive approach in addressing real estate and environmental concerns is set to be a game changer.
