The reason that the choice fell on Moss Business Park, project costs, rational layout of the building, as well as proximity to both the port and to store mass.
The central warehouse is Norway’s 3rd largest warehouses and the largest storage building built at a time. There are approximately 60,000 square meters and consists of a traditional warehouse of approximately 46,500 square meters, an additional high stock of approximately 10,000 sqft, as well as offices and service spaces of 3,000 square meters.
Collects all Moss
Moss Industrial Centrally located on county road 120, one kilometer away Mosseporten mall with easy access to the container port and E6 .
– today, we are scattered in several locations in Fredrikstad, with stock at Øra and Lisleby and 3-4 smålager. Now we’ll collect all warehouse operations into one large central warehouse. With this we lay the foundation for a cost-effective operation of our logistics business far into the future, says CEO Pål Wibe Moss Avis.
Work on the location and design of the new warehouse has been going on for a year.
– We have looked at alternative solutions, and the choice fell on Moss Industrial Park. We already have a good dialogue with the municipality for rezoning of land. Highly warehouse overstriger current zoning of 20 meters and get an interior height of 32 meters.
High-tech warehouse
High warehouse of 10,000 sqm is cost saving, and here it can be stored as many goods of 30,000 sqm in a warehouse with normal height.
– In high warehouse will not be humans but machines that take the goods down to picking level in the lower storage building, where the staff will do the rest.
the new building will be large, and there is much that must be in place before moving in.
– the new warehouse is vast, and it is Fabritius group to oversee the construction. Among other must plot leveled first, and there are massive amounts of rock masses to be removed, so it is a big project that will create jobs in the construction phase, says Wibe.
Done in 2020
The progress plan showing housewarming in 2019, and that full capacity will be started in 2020. However, some new positions can not Wibe love.
– No, there are not so many new positions with us. Most of our employees live in Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg and Halden and will probably be moved over. In high season, there will be about 250 people working at the new store.
The employees in Fredrikstad got the final message at a town hall meeting Tuesday morning.
– We hope and believe that all the employees will be moved over, says Wibe to f-b.no.
