Spain: Mercadona invests in €60 million in logistics platform

Spanish retailer Mercadona has made an investment of €60 million ($58.5 million) in its logistics platform in Riba-Roja del Turia, Valencia.

According to an article in Revista Inforetail, the resources will be used to optimise and modernise its warehouse for fresh produce in the logistics centre.

With the investment, improvements will be made in the centre’s processes, facilities, and working conditions of its employees.

The warehouse will see an increase in its production capacity, as it’s going to have an area of 40,000 sq. metres instead of the current 23,000 sq. metres, besides the efficiency, technology, and sustainability improvements that will also be made.

The company plans to start the works during the first half of 2023, and will count with the collaboration of more than 130 suppliers, employing around 800 people during the construction, which is expected to last approximately two years.
