Blitz Distribution GmbH, a subsidiary of GigaCloud Technology Inc., has signed a lease for logistics and office space at Garbe Industrial’s facility in Werne, North Rhine-Westphalia. The lease includes approximately 37,000 square metres of warehouse space and 1,000 square metres of office and social space. The company plans to use the site for fulfilment operations involving furniture, household goods, and fitness equipment. Garbe Industrial’s logistics centre in the Wahrbrink industrial estate, where the leased space is located, was developed following the acquisition of a former IKEA site in 2018. The site spans a total area of 295,000 square metres. Garbe Industrial renovated the location, developed over 123,000 square metres of new building area, and leased the revitalised space to various tenants. An additional 45,000 square metres continues to be used by logistics and manufacturing firms. The leased facility includes 30 loading docks to support efficient handling of goods. According to Garbe Industrial, the site offers strategic benefits due to its location within the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region and its proximity to key transportation infrastructure. It lies directly on the B54 federal road, with access to the A1 and A2 motorways, linking Hamburg to Cologne and Berlin to the Ruhr area. A bus stop offering public transport access is located 200 metres from the property. The new buildings at the Werne site are certified to the Gold Standard by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). A photovoltaic installation on the warehouse roofs provides a peak energy output of 4.8 megawatts, contributing to the site’s renewable energy usage. Garbe Industrial stated that demand for high-quality logistics space remains steady, even in a challenging market. The leasing process was facilitated by BNP Paribas Real Estate Düsseldorf. Blitz Distribution’s presence in Werne is intended to expand the group’s fulfilment capacity in Germany and support its cross-border logistics operations in Europe.
