The company
Founded in 1989, objectflor is one of Europe's leading suppliers of resilient floor coverings.
When the objectflor Logistics Centre is full, there are 5.5 million square metres of floor coverings held there. With storage capacity on this scale, objectflor can ensure more customer service across the whole of Europe, and with short delivery times. This means that most of the decors from the different collections are ready in the new building, covering 18,600 square metres, just waiting for the orders to come in.
Ongoing expansion at objectflor meant that the previous depot building at the company headquarters in Cologne Rodenkirchen was no longer sufficient, so the management of the company, established in 1989 and continually growing, took the decision to move to an ultra-modern building at the central Cologne logistics base at Eifeltor.The facility also provides some 600 square metres of office space for the staff.
These are the details:
objectflor is working on this project with Prologis as a leading owner, operator and developer of logistics properties. It was important to both companies to plan and build the logistics centre in accordance with the highest ecological standards. For this, Prologis and objectflor received a gold pre-certificate from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) at the end of October 2012.
The property was built using low-pollutant materials and FSC-certified wood-based materials from sustainable forestry. In addition, the building has increased thermal insulation and a highly efficient heating system with gas dark radiators. Infiltration-capable paving reduces sealed outdoor surfaces.
