Our Markets 2 April 2025
- The event marking the official start of the works took place today with the presence of Sara Hernández, Mayor of Getafe, and José Mª García Gómez, Deputy Minister of Housing, Transport, and Infrastructure of the Community of Madrid.
- SEUR's new central hub in Getafe will be located on a 100,000-square-meter site refurbished by Goodman to develop the Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre, tailored to SEUR's needs.
- Goodman, aligned with SEUR's sustainability requirements, plans to implement sustainable materials with the goal of reducing carbon emissions from new construction by up to 30%.
- The development and operation of the Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre will generate a total of 600 direct jobs and up to 1,000 indirect jobs, revitalizing the area's economic activity.
Goodman and SEUR today laid the first pillar of the infrastructure they will build in Getafe, which will be operational in the third quarter of 2026. Participating in the event were Sara Hernández, Mayor of Getafe; José María García Gómez, Deputy Minister of Housing, Transport, and Infrastructure of the Community of Madrid; as well as Ignacio García, Country Manager of Goodman Spain; and David Sastre, CEO of SEUR.
Thanks to this alliance, Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre is created, a key logistics infrastructure that will become SEUR's central hub in Spain. The asset is strategically located near the center of Madrid, well connected to the main access routes to the capital, and next to the Getafe Industrial train station. The facility, one of the largest of its kind in Europe, fully digitalized and equipped with the latest cutting-edge technology, will become the most important logistics center in Spain.
The logistics project will contribute to providing Getafe with essential infrastructure for urban distribution and will revitalize the area's economic activity. In this regard, the development and operation of the Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre is estimated to generate a total of 600 direct jobs and up to 1,000 indirect jobs.
The development, which will have 100,000 square meters, will become a two-story, multi-purpose production facility, where three SEUR business units will be grouped: one of them dedicated to last-mile distribution, with capacity for 300 delivery vehicles, an area enabled for national and international cross-docking activity with trailers and duo-trailers, and a final one for the classification and distribution of refrigerated food products.
Designed as a state-of-the-art building, it will be adapted to current needs, with an initial capacity to handle between 300,000 and 450,000 packages per day, while also being able to respond flexibly to future market trends.
The logistics center's ideal location, 13 kilometers from the center of Madrid, will allow SEUR, the leading express transport company in Spain, to effectively respond to growing market demand. Thanks to its strategic location, SEUR will be able to optimize its operations in central Spain, from where it will consolidate its current global growth.
Ignacio García Cuenca, Country Manager of Goodman Spain, highlighted
“Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre is a key project for Goodman, as it exemplifies our strategy of responding to the needs of our clients, who are looking for strategic locations and versatile assets to achieve greater agility and flexibility in their operations.” He added: “The close collaboration with the local authorities and SEUR will allow us to develop a comprehensive solution, both in terms of urban planning and construction, to stimulate the local economy of Getafe.”
David Sastre Segovia, CEO of SEUR, pointed out that
"This investment is a further step and the central axis of our investment plan, and it provides continuity to the recent infrastructures that are already operating throughout Spain. Furthermore, it demonstrates our clear commitment; on the one hand, to our clients, supporting their growth and responding to their logistical challenges, and on the other hand, to society, through the creation of employment in the area and establishing sustainability as a critical element in the new facility."
Goodman and SEUR join forces to reduce carbon emissions during the construction process and operational emissions throughout the asset's lifecycle.
SEUR has the clear objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040. In fact, Geopost, the Group to which SEUR belongs, is the only one in the sector to have been recognized by the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) which endorses this ambitious goal. Thus, the Getafe infrastructure had to be conceived and aligned to meet this challenge.
In this regard, Goodman will work intensively during the construction process of the Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre, together with the entire supply chain, to reduce CO2 emissions by 30%, and, thanks to the installation of 4MW of photovoltaic solar energy, it will mitigate operational emissions throughout the asset's lifespan.
The project will also receive the BREEAM Excellent certification, which endorses the sustainable construction of the facility, and will also have the VALORIZA certification, which certifies the management of waste produced during construction with the aim of recovering 100% of it.
