The cargo-partner iLogistics Center near Ljubljana Airport is one of the largest warehouse complexes in Slovenia and currently offers 25,000 m² of storage space. As our facility has almost reached its capacity, we will start a second construction phase to expand our storage space and enhance our range of warehousing and integrated logistics solutions.
The expansion will add 14,000 m² of storage space and an additional 14 truck docks. The new facility will contain a narrow-aisle high-rack system as well as dedicated areas for block storage and value-added services. Furthermore, it will provide the ideal basis for comprehensive end-to-end e-fulfillment solutions, including a parcel pickup station.
Thanks to its flexible design and favorable location, the iLogistics Center near Ljubljana airport fully supports our comprehensive transport and info-logistics service portfolio.
A wide- and narrow-aisle racking system will provide an additional 9,000 pallet slots and will be equipped with semi-automated high-rack storage technology.
In addition to cross-dock, short-term, and long-term storage areas, the new facility will also have a drone runway that can be used for parcel deliveries.
“Part of the facility will be dedicated to e-commerce services with a ‘drive-in pick-up point for personal collection or return of parcels, available to the inhabitants of the northwestern region of Slovenia,” the company said.
The conceptual design was completed in March, and the procedures for obtaining the necessary approvals and preparing the construction project are currently underway.
Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2022 and the official opening is planned for fall 2022.
Viktor Kastelic, managing director of cargo-partner in Slovenia, said: “We expected that it would take more than two years to fill up the capacity, so we were delighted that the warehouse was almost full after one year. “The rapid growth of our business, the needs of our customers, and the success of our operations in the existing facility have led us to begin planning the expansion, which was originally scheduled for the period 2024-2026, immediately.”
