LOGISTICS: A EUROPEAN-WIDE PLATFORM |
Rhône-Alpes is France’s second-largest region as a logistics hub and in terms of attracting warehouse sites.
|
The Greater Lyon The Greater Lyon area has the largest number of warehouses (over 150) but they are relatively small (on average 8100 sq. m.), which can be explained by the local nature of the business: serving consumers in the Lyon area or for local production needs. Greater Lyon accounts for 30% of the total logistics premises in the Lyon urban area.
The Nord-Isère area is the strongest in logistics, with more than 2 million square meters and large-scale warehouses (on average 18,500 sq. m.) which receive and send goods well beyond the Lyon region.
The Plaine de l’Ain industrial park has about 520,000 square meters of warehouses and logistics represents one of its four main sectors of activity.
