Militzer & Münch Bulgaria is the country’s leading provider of transportation and logistics services. Currently, the company is investing in even more operational efficiency and sustainability, and is modernizing a warehouse measuring almost 19,000 square metres. Part of the facility is being converted into a temperature-controlled warehouse for pharmaceuticals.
Since the beginning of the year, the warehouse in Sofia, which is owned by the sister company TransTerminal, has been undergoing extensive modernization. Among other things, more than twice as many pallet spaces as before are being created on 7,500 of the total 18,900 square meters of storage area. In addition, the facades are reinforced with thermal panels, doors and docks are renewed, additional loading ramps are built, special industrial floors and concrete paving are laid, and the entire lighting and electrical systems are brought up to the highest technical standards.
“Our primary goal in this modernization is to optimize our logistics flow and energy consumption, which will reduce our ecological footprint,” says Svetoslav Sashev, the CEO of TransTerminal Bulgaria. “We are also giving the building a facelift, including new facades; our customers will surely appreciate the aesthetically appealing facility.”
Plenty of space for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals
All in all, the remodelling and modernization are scheduled to take three years. The first phase is to be completed by October 2024. In the second phase, a 700-square-meter area will be modernized and converted into a temperature-controlled warehouse for pharmaceuticals.
“With our warehouse for temperature-controlled goods, we are catering to a broader customer base,” says Svetoslav Sashev. “Our new facility will totally comply with the standards for the storage of pharmaceutical products. We are already looking forward to seeing the results.”
