Dunca builds 22m-euro logistic centre

Dunca Expeditii, the Timisoara-based transport company that is currently one of the biggest on the market, will invest 22 million euros in building a logistic centre, with funding to be generated from credit as well as its own resources. “We decided to invest in this logistic centre due to the fact that there is no such centre in the Western part of the country and we are based close to the Western border, and also to address the requirements of the logistic market,” stated Romeo Dunca, general manager of Dunca Expeditii. Investments in logistic centres have boomed lately, as commercial and distribution firms expanded their activity. Cefin Logistic Park in Bucharest, currently the biggest logistic project, entailed investment worth over 70-80 million euros, and was acquired by the Austrian investment fund Europolis in the autumn of 2004. Other similar projects are due to start development very close to the Bucharest-Pitesti highway, in the same area as the CLP site. The logistic centre developed by Dunca Expeditii will have a total surface of 13.2 ha, 46,000 square metres of which will include storage space, car parking and a car service. ZF
