Fulfilment services provider VAH Jager is expanding its presence at Garbe Industrial’s logistics park in Oberkrämer, northwest of Berlin. The company, which already operates a 30,000-square-metre facility on-site, has leased an additional 10,000 square metres to meet growing demand from its e-commerce and publishing clients.
“With this new agreement, one of the two newly built logistics units—added during the park’s final expansion phase—is now fully leased,” said Adrian Zellner, Member of the Executive Board at Garbe Industrial. “Only one unit of around 10,000 square metres remains available, meaning the site is now close to full occupancy.”
The Oberkrämer development, located in the Vehlefanz industrial estate, spans approximately 146,000 square metres. It includes 20 dock levellers and two ground-level loading gates designed for efficient truck handling. Garbe Industrial began the project in phases: the first building of 15,000 square metres was completed for a logistics service provider, followed by a 30,000-square-metre hall now operated by VAH Jager.
VAH Jager serves a wide range of mail-order and online retailers, handling warehousing, order processing, and distribution. The company’s expansion reflects rising fulfilment volumes in the German e-commerce sector. “Oberkrämer provides an optimal location for modern logistics and order processing,” said Ina Woryna, Managing Director of VAH Jager. “This additional capacity allows us to grow alongside our clients and secure our long-term development goals.”
The logistics park benefits from strong transport connectivity, located roughly 1.5 kilometres from the Oberkrämer junction of the A10 motorway and just 30 kilometres from central Berlin via the A111. The site also connects directly to Hamburg through the A24, to Hanover via the A2, and to Leipzig by way of the A9.
Sustainability remains central to Garbe Industrial’s development strategy. The new facility includes a photovoltaic system covering the roof to generate renewable energy, and energy-efficient LED lighting has been installed throughout the hall. The property has achieved Gold certification from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB), underscoring Garbe’s commitment to environmentally responsible construction and operations.
With the latest expansion, Garbe Industrial has nearly completed full leasing across the Oberkrämer logistics park—another sign of continued momentum in Germany’s logistics real estate sector, driven by sustained growth in online trade and regional distribution demand.
