Harden Construction, an international general contractor specialising in industrial buildings, has entered the Czech market and has begun work on its first local project in the Business Park Most Joseph industrial zone.
The project involves the construction of an industrial hall covering more than five hectares, designed under a build-to-suit model to meet the specific requirements of the end tenant.
Harden Construction focuses on the delivery of industrial facilities for manufacturing, warehousing and e-commerce. The company has completed more than 1.2 million sq m of projects in Germany and Poland, including distribution centres, logistics parks and production halls for clients such as H&M, Action, Danfoss, Samsung Electronics, Raben, Carrefour and DB Schenker.
“The Czech Republic is a very attractive market for us with significant potential. Its geographical location, combined with a strong industrial tradition, creates suitable conditions for the development of modern industry,” said Marek Čepela, CEO of Harden Construction CZ. “A key feature of the local market is demand for high-quality buildings, both in terms of sustainability and applied technologies, which is also reflected in our first project.”
Čepela has more than 20 years of experience in construction and project management and previously held senior roles at HOCHTIEF and Siemens Engineering.
Harden Construction specialises in comprehensive Design & Build delivery, covering the entire process from design through to handover. Within Business Park Most Joseph, the company is developing a complex on one of the last available plots in the first phase of the industrial zone.
The project will seek BREEAM New Construction certification at the Excellent level. Planned sustainability features include heat pumps, rainwater reuse systems, the use of service water, enhanced thermal insulation and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
According to the developer, the new facility is expected to create employment opportunities and support the role of the Most region as an industrial and logistics location.
