16th July 2025, Bratislava: VGP, European owner, manager and developer of semi-industrial and logistics real estate, has successfully completed an expansion of its Warehouse F at VGP Park Bratislava for its client Continental Tires. The space of 12,000 m2 newly approved for occupation marks a substantial expansion of the company’s existing capacities and a deepening of its strategic partnership with VGP, which has been ongoing already since 2020. Continental is a leading supplier of tyres and technology to the automotive industry. It leases a total of 68,000 m2 at VGP Park Bratislava, which it uses as a modern warehouse and distribution centre for its tyres, not only for Slovakia, but also for the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, the Adriatic countries, Ukraine, and Moldova.
Continental uses the modern distribution centre with an optimised space layout and advanced technologies to achieve high operational efficiency, thus enabling it to cover a wide geographic area directly from its Bratislava location. The facility has 68 loading bays and capacity for almost 800,000 tyres. Nearly 3.8 million tyres and other products were shipped from the facility in 2024. This makes it a major employer in the region, creating more than 100 jobs in peak season.
Warehouse F fulfils high standards for sustainable construction and energy efficiency, and it has been accredited by the internationally recognised BREEAM certificate, reflecting the two companies’ commitment to environmental responsibility and contributes to the long-term sustainability of Continental’s logistics operations.
The entire VGP Park Bratislava offers a number of eco-friendly solutions, including the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of buildings and charging stations for cars. It is occupied by highly reputable tenants, including DIRKS, Geis SK, Coca-Cola, and Packeta Slovakia. In future, the park will grow to a total of 11 warehouses with more than 400,000 m² of lettable space. When fully completed, it will be one of the largest parks in VGP’s European portfolio.
