Selgros Cash & Carry Romania recently leased and opened a 10,000 sqm logistics platform in Chiajna, west of Bucharest, that will supply all its stores with products requiring controlled temperature for storage.

The platform is located on the Bucharest ring road, a few hundred meters from Romania's main motorway A1.

ACT Cold Storage is one of the most modern refrigerated warehouses built in Europe and the first of this kind in Romania, with numerous technological implementations of equipment and systems. It was developed between 2003-2019 by Mega Company.

The new platform will increase Selgros' efficiency and widen its product range by listing producers that do not own national distribution networks.

Real estate consultancy company JLL advised Selgros in this transaction. Thus, JLL reached approximately 500,000 sqm of storage space leases brokered for large retailers in Romania in the last three years, of which over 150,000 sqm of temperature-controlled storage space.

"ACT Cold Storage offers some unique features for the logistics market, which makes it the best solution for our customer's needs. The new location allows Selgros Cash & Carry to integrate more suppliers with the ultimate goal of increasing the efficiency of its distribution chain, a goal for all companies involved in the retail area," said Viorel Opait, Business Development Director JLL Romania.
