Metro fuels industrial expansion with new FSD warehouse

 

The recently completed 12,000 sqm Food Service Delivery (FSD) warehouse, a collaborative effort between German retailer Metro and industrial developer WDP, is strategically located in Ștefăneștii de Jos, close to Bucharest.

 

Valued at nearly €20 million, this modern facility is seamlessly integrated into Metro’s expansive central platform, which spans an impressive 65,000 sqm.

 

This new FSD unit is specifically designed to enhance distribution for HoReCa entrepreneurs and support the robust network of LaDoiPași franchise stores, demonstrating Metro's commitment to efficient supply chain solutions.

 

Strategic investment in Romania's logistics future

 

Metro AG’s CEO, Steffen Greubel, has affirmed the company's strong intent to continue investing substantially in Romania, with plans estimated at hundreds of millions of euros by 2030. This long-term vision underscores the confidence in Romania's economic potential and its strategic position as a logistics hub.

 

Such significant investments by major international players like Metro serve as a clear indicator for businesses seeking warehouse space or industrial property, highlighting the stability and growth opportunities within the Romanian market, particularly around the capital.

 

Why Bucharest remains a prime location for industrial real estate

 

The choice of Ștefăneștii de Jos, near Bucharest, for this substantial development further solidifies the metropolitan area's reputation as a top-tier location for logistics and distribution centers. Bucharest offers unparalleled access to a wide customer base and critical transportation infrastructure, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their supply chains and expand their reach.

 

Metro Romania’s existing infrastructure, which includes a fleet of over 300 trucks delivering daily to more than 11,000 clients nationwide, showcases the operational capacity and potential for businesses leveraging advanced distribution networks in this region.

 

For companies evaluating commercial property, industrial parks, or warehouse rentals, Metro's latest venture provides a compelling case study of successful large-scale development and a benchmark for modern logistics facilities in Eastern Europe.
