Strategic expansion in Belgium: new opportunities for businesses
Key acquisitions & developments
In Belgium, Montea has significantly bolstered its portfolio with key acquisitions and developments designed to meet diverse business needs. The company acquired a 6,000 m² facility at the renowned Blue Gate-site in Antwerp, now leased to BMB Bouwmaterialen. This location offers excellent connectivity, ideal for urban logistics and distribution.
Furthermore, Montea is collaborating with Weerts Group to develop the largest single-tenant site ever in Belgium, located in Liège. This expansive facility, destined for the international brand Skechers, showcases Montea's capability to deliver large-scale, bespoke solutions for major distribution hubs. Businesses can anticipate future opportunities for strategic partnerships and the development of similar large-scale projects.
Pioneering sustainable logistics
Montea is at the forefront of sustainable logistics, having launched its first two state-of-the-art battery-hubs in Ghent and Willebroek. These hubs boast a combined capacity of 6.6 MWh, marking a significant step towards Montea's planned €50 million investment in battery storage. For businesses, this commitment to renewable energy infrastructure ensures more sustainable operations, potential cost savings, and a reduced carbon footprint, aligning with modern corporate responsibility goals.
