Logistics and Fire Safety: An Innovative Project in Torrejón de Ardoz
At mercor tecresa®, we combine logistics and fire safety, to share our contribution to Sesé’s new multimodal logistics centre in Torrejón de Ardoz, Madrid. This project, led by our “Smoke Evacuation department”, represents a significant step forward in the safety and efficiency of logistics facilities, aligned with Sesé’s sustainability and functionality objectives.
A State-of-the-Art Logistics Centre
Sesé has invested 16 million euros in the creation of this logistics centre, which extends over 15,000 square meters and has 16 loading docks. Designed to serve the retail and textile industry, these facilities are ready to meet any customized need in the reception of goods, customs management, quality control and shipment of goods.
Additionally, this centre is not only limited to the region of Madrid. It will manage both national and international goods, also acting as a second-line logistics centre for the goods passing through Madrid airport. This approach strengthens Sesé’s global logistics activity, which operates in 20 countries and employs more than 11,000 people.
