The installation of the aeronautical components manufacturing company is planned for this summer
It will occupy 13,500 m2 of warehouse in what is known as PPL (league preparation plant) and 285 m2 of office in the annex building.
Alestis will install a logistics center in the Free Zone where it will concentrate its current activity in Cádiz and Seville
This morning, the Free Trade Zone has approved the offer presented by the aeronautical components manufacturing company Alestis to settle on the land and facilities occupied by the former tobacco company Altadis in the capital of Cadiz and which have been part of the Fiscal Precinct of the Free Zone of Cádiz since last March 22, when the Ministry of Finance and Public Administrations authorized, with the publication of the Order in the Official State Gazette, the expansion of the Fiscal Precinct of the Free Trade Zone in the city of Cádiz.
The Consortium's Contracting Board met today to study the offer presented to the Public Offer for leasing properties in the former Altadis facilities (league preparation plant) called PPL and offices in the building called EDF in the Interior Facility of the Free Trade Zone of Cádiz, whose application submission period ended this Monday.
Alestis, which plans to settle in the Free Zone this summer, will occupy 13,500 m2 of warehouse and 285 m2 of offices in the annex building and would install a logistics center in the Free Zone of Cádiz in which it will concentrate the three facilities that it currently has dispersed in Seville and Cádiz.
The company, which already announced its intention to settle in the Free Zone three weeks ago, will store in its Free Zone logistics center the components that arrive at the port of Cádiz and that are then sent to other factories and that include both raw materials and finished elements, such as fuselage, tail rudder, etc.
The installation of the aeronautical components manufacturing company in the Free Trade Zone, which will involve an investment of 1.3 million euros, implies the need to carry out works in the buildings of the former tobacco company, such as the adaptation of the loading docks or repair of roofs, among other actions.
In fact, Zona Franca has already put out to tender partial adaptation works on the ground floor of the league preparation plant (PPL) office building, an action to which seven companies have submitted and which has an execution period of two months.
Although the Altadis lands were property of the Free Trade Zone since June 2015 and the company Fricking Design, which manufactures and exports t-shirts, was already located there, since the Ministry's authorization in March 2016, they have been included in the Tax Precinct, benefiting from the customs and tax advantages of the Free Trade Zone.
In fact, the works for the demolition of part of the fence that separates the Free Trade Zone from the old Altadis have already been put out to tender, for which eight companies have applied. The demolition works of the wall, which will allow the physical integration of the lands into the Fiscal Precinct, have a completion period of two months.
The Fiscal Precinct of the Free Zone in the capital of Cadiz now therefore has more than 486,881 m2, becoming an important industrial focus with customs and tax advantages that will be an added attraction for the installation of emp
