The 18m high building covers an area of 10,500m2 and has the most advanced technology of its kind developed in the world today, claimed Pferd.

Now, storage position capacity has been more than doubled to 7,700 positions, with an additional 2,300 in reserve, making an available capacity of 10,000 for further long-term development.
