Logistics
 
In 10 years, the Moselle region in Lorraine has acquired a true European logistic vocation. Benefiting from an exceptional geographical location at the heart of Europe and the intersection of two of the largest markets in continental Europe (France and Germany), the Moselle region capitalizes on its local population to develop new assets (i.e., communication infrastructures, training, real-estate solutions, technical and financial support of projects).


Today, it is almost impossible not to consider the Moselle region when developing any European logistic project study:

- a privileged access to strategic markets such as France, Germany and Benelux,

- quality communication infrastructures (road, rail, air, water way),

- sites and buildings at a very competitive price,

- major international references (AGCO, CAT Logistics, DHL, FM Logistic, GEFCO, GE Lighting, HASBRO, IKEA, ITT Flygt, KATOEN NATIE, MOSOLF, PANOPA, SOLOTRA, TENNECO, UPS),

- a complete logistic offer (storage, order preparation, co-packing, co-manufacturing), and

- a local dynamic to support technical and financial projects.
   
The Moselle region has gained the recognition of professionals:

- Organization of the 20th ASLOG National Congress in Metz in 2001

- Implantation of major investors/promoters in real-estate logistic which launched construction or logistic parks programs: PROLOGIS repurchased the building of CAT LOGISTICS (194,000 square feet) in Argancy, BAIL INVESTMENT (group ISM) built a building in Ennery of 241,000 square feet.
   
Logistic news is first and foremost in the Moselle region:

- PRD developed the first French network of new generation logistic parks in Moselle, Distripôle Thionville, of which the first building with 312,000 square feet was just completed. Available for rent, it breaks up into two cells and has modules DRIRE (1510, 1530, 2663) making it possible to store a broad line of goods.

- In 2001, VFLI, integrated into the group SNCF, repurchased the coal mine of the Lorraine Basin, in Moselle East. VFLI Cargo, its subsidiary company, has large projects of international developments (maintenance of railway material, stockage/manutention, study and realization of railway production, platforms railroad and railroad transport, trucks and coaches cleaning). With the development of a road bypass southeast of Metz, a new activity zone, the development of DHL, and the lengthening of the landing track to two miles, and completion of the TGV in 2007, the Metz-Nancy-Lorraine airport, which maintains activity related to air transportation, freight and logistics, is expected to grow.
