Today, more than ever, international and local companies are looking for logistics buildings for rent in attractive locations
If you have not heard of the logistics industry until now, you are not alone, but the news that Amazon is starting a sales activity in Israel has reached almost every home in the country. Amazon does need a logistics warehouse for rent with a size of at least 25,000 square meters, but it is not the only one. You may not have felt it, but in recent years the logistics industry (which includes all companies operating in the fields of shipping, cargo terminals, warehouse management and logistics centers) has grown in Israel by dozens of percent The reasons for this are various: the growth of online trade, the growth of imports, the growth of exports and even the outsourcing of many logistics activities. One thing is certain – international and local companies are looking for warehouses for rent in attractive locations today more than in the past. Although the logistics industry is seen as a gray area, it is one of the industries active and growing in Israel.
The logistics industry – not what you thought
As a result, companies are required to hold a large inventory and there is real estate demand in the field, for example for a logistics warehouse for sale as well as a logistics center for rent or sale that has uniqueness , for example logistics warehouses or warehouses near the sea and land ports (Ashdod, Haifa, Eilat, Israel, etc.). In fact, most likely the logistics industry is much bigger than you thought. And Amazon is not alone and the growth in the Israeli logistics industry is also reflected in the stock market and to prove it – in the three years Recently, the shares of Israeli logistics companies jumped by 80% (for example Meman, Orien and Friedenzon). Three additional logistics companies (Novolog, Overseas and Katz Shiloh) have made IPOs worth hundreds of millions of shekels in the last year, and they join 5 Israeli logistics companies that are already traded on the stock exchange.
There are proofs in the field
Although intentions are different and reality is different, in the field of logistics there are proofs in the literal sense of the word. For example, the Gold Bond company plans to build a logistics center in Ashdod with an area of 20,000 square meters. The Orian company is also currently raising bonds in the amount of NIS 150 million with one goal – to finance the construction of three logistics centers for the company in Modi’in, Ashdod and Rosh Ha’Ein. And the Maman company is also apparently following in their footsteps – in early 2018, it completed a bond raising of NIS 120 million. The logistics companies are considered financially stable companies and the entire industry is only developing and growing. For example, the Orian company wrote in its presentation to its investors what everyone knows: today it is required to provide customers with products different in a short period of time, the logistics process has become even more complex than before and the demand for logistics warehouses exceeds the supply.
Not only in Israel
And it turns out that although the Israeli logistics market is a growing market, but Israel is not the only one Because logistics is considered one of the fastest growing fields in the entire world. In fact, logistics companies today require more storage spaces so the demand for logistics real estate is only increasing, for example, a 50,000 square meter Amazon logistics center was built in Brazil and this is just one example of many. Therefore, adapting a logistics warehouse to a particular organization requires a thorough and in-depth understanding of the field, for example, understanding and analyzing the logistics needs of the organization, cost savings as a way of organizational efficiency, future transportation development in the area, geographical proximity to customers, etc. Therefore, in order to find a suitable logistics warehouse, one must begin by characterizing financial and physical needs In other words – you should contact those who specialize in this field.[:]
