Gazeley, member of Economic Zones World and one of the world’s leading providers of sustainable logistics and industrial space, showcased its market strength and prospects at Expo Real 2009, Europe’s most important property fair, held in Munich recently.
The UK-based global logistics solutions provider achieved considerable success at the biggest gathering of industry leaders from Europe, re-establishing association with its customer base and reaching out to a bigger network of contacts from countries including the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Poland.
Senior officials, including Ingo Steves, Managing Director, Gazeley - Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Mansoor Al Bastaki, Sales Manager, Commercial Sales UAE, Economic Zones World, and Thomas Karmann, Senior Vice President, Operations, Europe, met decision makers from the logistics and property sectors as well as political leaders. Talks over potential co-operation were also held with landowners, agents and other prospective customers.
The Gazeley stand at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre welcomed visitors from several European countries who showed interest in associating with the company and discussed possible co-operation.
Ingo Steves, Managing Director, Gazeley - Germany, Austria, Switzerland, said: “Expo Real was an opportunity for us to get closer to our regular contacts and also widen our network. We held over 50 valuable meetings with leaders from different related sectors and succeeded in opening many possible avenues of co-operation.”
Gazeley’s success at Expo Real is crucial as the market condition in Germany, the core region for Europe’s logistics and related industries, is showing remarkable long-term sustainability. Secured income has opened possibilities for longer leases. Adding to this is the availability of good locations and demand for quality warehouses.
Gazeley’s focus on developing highly efficient, carbon positive logistics and industrial spaces has won wide acclaim across its operations in Europe and Asia. The company’s G.Park Blue Planet green development at Chatterley Valley in the UK recently won the prestigious LEAF (Leading European Architects Forum) Best Sustainable Development Award for 2009.
Apart from Gazeley, Economic Zones World’s portfolio also includes its flagship, Jafza, one of the world’s largest free zones, TechnoPark, a research driven business and industrial park, and Dubai Auto Zone, a comprehensive market place for the Auto industry.
