HiperDino, the leading chain in the food sector and the only 100% Canarian regional chain, will expand its logistics center located in the Valle de Güímar Industrial Park by more than 15,000 square metres. An amount of more than 16 million euros has been allocated to carry out this work.
The works, which began during the month of April 2021 with the demolition of the buildings surrounding the platform, are now in the execution phase of the floors, as well as the development of the foundations and screeds. In addition, the opening of the foundation pits that are necessary due to the characteristics of the terrain is about to be completed. HiperDino expects the works to be completed by mid-2023.
HiperDino’s logistics platform will have 34,000 square meters once the construction of the new building is completed, whose 15,000 square meters will be added to the 19,000 square meters of the center in use in Manzana XII of the Valle de Güímar Industrial Estate. This expansion will be distributed over two floors. In addition, other areas will be intervened with the aim of gaining surface in the dry area, according to the company.
The chain announces that it is studying locating a photovoltaic installation on the roof of the new premises with the aim of favoring energy self-sufficiency.
