Spain: Lidl to invest €140 million in new logistics hub

Lidl, the German retail giant, has announced it will invest €140 million ($152 million) to construct its largest logistics hub to date in Spain.

Set for completion by mid-2024 and due to open in 2025, the new warehouse will be built in Martorell, near Barcelona, on a 126,000 square metre plot, complementing the retailer’s existing Catalonia distribution centre in Montcada I Reixac.

The project is part of a broader expansion program that includes a further three distribution hubs in Parla (Madrid), Constantí (Tarragona) and Villadangos del Paramo (Leon) hubs, as well as plans to add 30 new stores to its existing network over the course of 2024 .

Lidl currently works with over 900 national suppliers in Spain, from whom it buys approximately €6.7 billion ($7.3 billion) worth of products each year. Its workforce presently stands at 18,500.
