VGP has signed a lease agreement with VAFO Praha, part of the international VAFO Group, for space at VGP Park České Budějovice. VAFO will occupy Hall E, with a total area of approximately 51,500 sqm, including around 50,000 sqm of warehouse space and 1,500 sqm of offices. Part of the warehouse, covering about 6,600 sqm, will be equipped with an automated 4D Shuttle system. The handover of the newly completed premises is planned for July 2027. The building is targeting BREEAM certification at the Excellent level.
VAFO Group is a Czech family-owned company established in 1994 and active in the production of pet food for dogs, cats and small mammals. The group operates nine production facilities across Europe and supplies products to more than 90 markets worldwide, with annual output exceeding 270,000 tonnes.
“As we are continuously expanding our production capacity, most recently with a new production line in Číčenice, for example, the need for larger and more modern storage space is also growing. We have several plants in South Bohemia, so this location is really key for us. The new premises at VGP Park České Budějovice will help us streamline our logistics and serve our customers even better,” says Jakub Majer, Board Member of VAFO Group.
VGP Park České Budějovice is located in the Světlík commercial zone on the outskirts of the city, near the D3 motorway connecting South Bohemia with Linz, Austria. The park is designed for logistics and light manufacturing uses. Once completed, the 37-hectare site will comprise seven industrial halls with a total leasable area exceeding 130,000 sqm. The development also includes the reconstruction of a nearby cycle path and the revitalisation of an adjacent pond, intended to support local biodiversity and water retention.
In addition to large-scale logistics and production facilities, the park also offers Small Business Units combining warehouse, showroom and office space, starting from around 250 sqm. These units are occupied by tenants including Toyota Dolák, Fitness Trade and Sun Construct.
Two halls at VGP Park České Budějovice are already operational and fully leased to the logistics company Dachser, while construction of further buildings is ongoing.
