Lyon is France's second largest metropolitan area and the primary distribution hub for goods entering Europe via the port of Marseille. The logistics park's location serves one of the larger pan-European distribution networks due to its proximity to the main transportation access routes into Barcelona, Milan, Switzerland and Paris.
"Many customers in Europe are focused on time-critical decisions, and when their requirements call for well-located, Class A distribution facilities at key European trade hubs, we're pleased they continue to turn to AMB," said Mo Barzegar, AMB's managing director, Europe.
"We approached our expansion in the Lyon region with great deliberation. While the leasing process might have posed a challenge for most real estate companies, AMB showed great commitment and integrity while working with us," commented Egbert Maagd, Wincanton's CEO for France. "In addition, the building location and functionality provides Wincanton with a strategic solution for our business in this region."
