RALU Logistics realizes its vision to become a leading supplier of integrated cold chain logistics service in the region South East Europe

RALU Logistics has started construction of the first stage of logistics distribution center over HRK 150 million (EUR 19.5 million) worth in Rugvica, near Zagreb. The area of the construction site is almost 120 000 m2. Kamgrad Company was elected the main contractor for this Center which will include a temperature regime goods warehouse and additional transportation facilities (internal gas station, vehicle service center, parking lot).

“This is one of the biggest investments in the private sector in Croatia at the moment, completely financed by private capital. For RALU, it presents a key precondition for realizing our vision to become a leading supplier of integrated cold chain logistics service in South East Europe. Our company provides transportation services throughout Europe and Russia, and enlarging our logistics capacities implies providing a complete top quality logistics solution to our customers. Construction of the logistics center also implies additional jobs, therefore in the years to follow we plan to get additional 200 employees, along with the current 300 ones,” says RALU Logistics‘ Management Board President Zvonimir Šćurec.

The first stage of RALU Center’s construction includes building the most modern warehouse with a capacity of over 12 000 pallets under temperature regime for frozen (-25 C) and fresh regime goods (0-8 C), with 16 ramps for loading and unloading, while cross dock and picking area will include over 3 000 m2. This also enables additional services such as promotional products, packing multiple products in plastic film, cardboard or sheet metal packaging, weighing non-egalized products with attaching price and weight labels for specific customers, providing service of customs and excise warehouse.

The Center will implement top quality technology for warehouse operations – from SAP WMS (Warehouse Management System) to voice recognition technologies or Pick by Voice. Thanks to one of the main suppliers in this project, the company EHO d.o.o., the most modern cooling facilities by world renowned manufacturers will be installed in the center.

Along with the warehouse, RALU center will include an internal truck service center, a truck wash and a gas station as well as a parking lot for trucks engaged in transportation and distribution. In addition, construction of the Center means uniting all of RALU’s functions, which up to now were at several locations, in one place in Zagreb.
