We celebrate Groundbreaking for a new site in Türkiye
We have launched a new greenfield investment as part of our growth strategy in the Turkish market. The newly laid foundation of a 40,000 m² operations center in Çayırova is set to become operational in October 2026, offering specialized storage standards and a high-security infrastructure.
The new site will be our 11th operations center in the country. “While we are continuing to expand our operational capabilities in Türkiye, the new site will significantly enhance Arvato’s storage and operational capacity for e-commerce and retail brands and open new potential for additional growth”, explains Umur Özkal, Managing Director Türkiye and UAE at Arvato.
The greenfield site is being built as a single-story, high-efficiency structure that meets European “Type A Big Box” logistics campus standards. It is designed to ensure efficiency and speed across all warehouse processes, including inbound handling, sorting, value added services, inventory management, and outbound shipment.
The new hub exceeds standard storage solutions by offering a structure tailored to the individual needs of brands. Integrated features like advanced security protocols, monitoring and access-control systems as well as specialized conditioned storage areas for different product segments ensure, that products are managed safely, with full traceability, and under optimal conditions.
Developed in line with our global Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) vision, the new site combines high standards in environmental sustainability, operational efficiency, and employee well-being. The facility integrates a range of sustainable and people-focused innovations. It generates renewable energy through a rooftop integrated solar power plant and optimizes natural resource usage with an advanced rainwater harvesting system. Energy-efficient lighting and climate-control technologies significantly reduce the overall carbon footprint, while modern, ergonomic workspaces support a people-centric operations model that prioritizes comfort, well-being, and social connection.
The construction has already started, with full-scale operations targeted to begin in October 2026. “Through this strategic investment, we aim to contribute to Türkiye’s growing potential as a modern logistics hub while further expanding the value-added services we provide to our business partners”, says Umur Özkal.
