Dietz AG has completed a built-to-suit logistics and production centre of roughly 73,000 sqm for Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG in Rheda-Wiedenbrück. The property on Ferdinand-Braun-Straße was handed over on schedule after a 14-month construction period.
The facility has been developed to the EG40 efficiency building standard and incorporates a series of sustainability measures. A rooftop photovoltaic installation with a capacity of approximately 4 MW supplies green electricity, while an air-source heat pump system provides fossil-free heating for the entire complex. Dietz AG is pursuing DGNB Gold certification for the building. The layout and technical specifications were tailored to Beckhoff Automation’s operational requirements.
“The excellent partnership with List Bau Nordhorn GmbH and the entire project team was a decisive factor in the success and quality of this project,” said Markus Engelmann, CEO of Dietz AG, acknowledging the performance of the general contractor.
Engelmann noted that close coordination with local authorities and specialist departments played an important role in keeping the project on schedule, despite a challenging regulatory environment. Logivest, a long-standing partner of Dietz AG, advised on the project and facilitated both the land acquisition and the leasing process.
“With the completion of this project, we not only want to contribute to strengthening the regional industrial and logistics infrastructure, but also send a clear signal for sustainable project development in East Westphalia,” Engelmann added.
