ARGAN delivered to DANONE a cold storage AutOnom® warehouse near Tours
ARGAN and DANONE today announced the delivery of the new AutOnom® warehouse in Sorigny (37 - Indre-et-Loire, France), marking the successful completion of a strategic project designed to enhance DANONE Group's logistics performance and environmental sustainability across Western France.
A strategic project, now operational
Following the signing of a contract in future state of completion and the laying of the foundation stone in 2025, the Sorigny site is now fully operational. Developed by ARGAN, this state-of-the-art 8,200 sq.m warehouse, including 6,400 sq.m of positive cold storage (2-6°C), incorporates the latest AutOnom® innovations, enabling the on-site production of green energy for self-consumption.
A rooftop photovoltaic installation covering nearly 3,000 sq.m has been deployed, with a total installed capacity of 580 kWp. It is complemented by energy storage batteries with a capacity of 230 kWh. This system is expected to reduce the site's CO2 emissions by 35%.
Designed to meet the highest environmental standards, this warehouse reflects the shared commitment of ARGAN and DANONE to more sustainable logistics, combining operational excellence with a reduced carbon footprint.
ARGAN and DANONE are bound by a long-term lease with a firm nine-year commitment, confirming the long-term sustainability of this new facility, located just a few kilometres from DANONE's former site in Chambray-lès-Tours.
A high-performance and sustainable logistics hub at the heart of the region
Developed within the Isoparc business park in Sorigny, the site benefits from a strategic location with direct access to the A10 French highway, close to the A85 and just 15 kilometres south of Tours. It is part of a dynamic business area, which already comprises more than 100,000 sq.m of developed logistics space, approximately 1,400 employees and around 30 established companies.
Ronan Le Lan, Chairman of ARGAN's Executive Board: "We are very proud to support DANONE in this strategic project and to welcome another leading company to our client portfolio. This development perfectly illustrates ARGAN's premium positioning. I would also like to thank the Touraine Vallée de l'Indre Community of Municipalities and Alain Esnault, Mayor of Sorigny, for their steadfast support throughout the development of this project.-
