VGP expands in Italy with new logistics park

European logistics developer VGP is expanding its presence in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, specifically in Parma, with the inauguration of VGP Park Parma Morse. 

VGP Park Morse

This new business park, located strategically near Parma's city centre and a major motorway, will initially host Global Trading, a prominent multi-ethnic food import-export company, in its first building.
This development further solidifies VGP's commitment to Emilia-Romagna, where it now operates five parks, three of which are in Parma, contributing significantly to local employment with over 700 potential jobs. The new park will adhere to high international quality standards, targeting a minimum BREEAM EXCELLENT certification, and will feature flexible, energy-efficient spaces, including storage, offices, and parking.
VGP plans to double the size of VGP Park Parma Morse within a year by constructing a second facility, bringing the total park surface to approximately 56,000 m². The entire project is expected to be completed by mid-2026. Global Trading, the park's first tenant, has grown from a local ethnic food store to a national and international player since its founding in 1992.

VGP Park Parma Morse is located about 5 km from the centre of Parma and about 3 km from the A1 motorway exit, which connects Milan, Reggio Emilia, and Bologna.
Paolo Tran, owner of Global Trading, stated: "The decision to rely on VGP stems from the need for a more modern and efficient structure, capable of supporting increasingly complex logistics and storage processes, ensuring fast and timely deliveries throughout Italy - crucial aspects to maintain our leadership position in the import-export market of multi-ethnic food products. We are confident that the quality and strategic location of this park will represent an added value for our business and for the entire local community."
