AQUILA, MACSPED AND GSE INAUGURATE THE FIRST WAREHOUSE OF THE TORTONA GREEN LOGISTICS PARK

Green Logistics by Aquila Capital, Aquila Capital’s logistics-focused business line, together with MacSped, a courier and freight forwarding company based in the Province of Alessandria, and GSE, a construction company operating as a General Contractor, were the key participants in the inauguration ceremony of the first warehouse developed by Green Logistics by Aquila Capital within the Tortona Green Logistics Park.

The Green Logistics by Aquila Capital project, completed last September, has secured its first tenant, MacSped, a rapidly growing logistics operator specializing in domestic and international freight forwarding services. The inauguration event was attended by Federico Chiodi, Mayor of Tortona; Jens Höper, Head of Investment Management Logistics at Aquila Capital; Omar Zamarotto, General Manager of MacSped; Valentino Chiarparin, Country Manager of GSE Italia; and Antonio Guarascio, Head of Confluence.

Guests had the opportunity to visit the 51,600 sqm warehouse, which marks the completion of the first phase of the Tortona Green Logistics Park, a logistics hub covering a total area of 395,000 sqm. The facility is the first of two buildings that will provide approximately 155,000 sqm of gross leasable space. The event concluded with the official ribbon-cutting ceremony conducted by the Mayor of Tortona and representatives of the companies involved.

Like all Aquila Capital logistics developments, Tortona Green Logistics Park was designed and developed according to strict energy efficiency and sustainability standards, both throughout the supply chain and during construction, with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. This includes the pursuit of LEED Gold certification, which validates compliance with sustainability standards relating to energy and water savings, CO2 emissions reduction, indoor environmental quality, materials and resources, building design, and site selection.

Valentino Chiarparin, Country Manager of GSE Italia, commented: “We are extremely pleased to inaugurate this warehouse today together with Aquila Capital and to have supported them, alongside Confluence, in the development of this first project in Italy, which brings significant added value to the local area and community. We would like to thank Aquila Capital for the trust placed in us, as well as the local authorities and all consultants involved, whose contribution was essential to the successful completion of the project.”

The project is located in the municipality of Tortona, in a strategic position thanks to its proximity to the A7 and A21 motorways, which provide excellent connections to Milan, Genoa and Turin.
