New logistics center in Bottrop
Ground-breaking ceremony and sake barrel ceremony "kagami-biraki"
Yusen Logistics Deutschland, provider of integrated logistics solutions, and Prologis, developer of logistics real estate, celebrated the start of an ambitious logistics project in Bottrop on January 23 with a combination of Japanese and German tradition.
The ceremony at the Braker Strasse site was attended by high-ranking representatives. The festivities began with a traditional Japanese sake barrel ceremony, "kagami-biraki", which honored Yusen Logistics' Japanese roots. During this part of the program, the managing directors of both companies blessed the project with wishes for success and prosperity. This was followed by the traditional German ground-breaking ceremony, which marked the symbolic start of construction work on the new project.
Groundbreaking ceremony for 57,200 square meter logistics facility
The logistics center, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024, is planned as a central component of future logistics activities in the region. "The logistics center in Bottrop is a high-quality addition to our nationwide real estate portfolio, as the strategically advantageous and central location in the Ruhr area not only facilitates Yusen Logistics' daily operations, but also supports efficient supply chains," said Philipp Feige, Vice President, Head of Capital Deployment at Prologis. "At the same time, it is in line with our sustainability strategy to repurpose old brownfield sites. The site, which was formerly used by a steel production company, is ideally suited for the construction of the 57,200 square meter logistics facility with high sustainability standards."
