ARGAN announced the delivery of the 12,000 sq.m extension of the logistics site operated by CELIO in Amblainville (60). This new development marks a further step in the long-term partnership between the two companies and brings the site’s total surface area to 55,000 sq.m, while incorporating the environmental standards of the AutOnom® label.
A strategic site at the heart of CELIO’s logistics operations
Operational since 2012, the Amblainville site has gradually established itself as CELIO’s central logistics platform in Europe. Following an initial extension completed in 2017, this new phase is designed to sustainably support the brand’s growth.
Ideally located in the immediate proximity of the A16 highway (Paris–Beauvais), very close to the Paris area, the site benefits from optimal accessibility for logistics flows. With this extension now completed, CELIO has a fully scaled facility to support its operations and growth prospects.
This transaction is part of a long-term lease agreement with a firm 10-year term covering the entire site, confirming CELIO’s long-lasting presence at this strategic location.
An extension supporting CELIO’s transformation and growth
This extension comes as CELIO expands the scope of its offering. The brand recently integrated the assets of Camaïeu and launched the development of a womenswear range, complementing its historic positioning in men’s ready-to-wear fashion.
These developments are resulting in increased processing volumes, as well as a broader diversification of product lines. In this context, the expansion of the Amblainville site enables the logistics facility to adapt to the brand’s new operational requirements.
Significantly enhanced environmental performance
The delivery of this extension also provided an opportunity to significantly enhance the site’s energy performance through the integration of the AutOnom® concept developed by ARGAN.
The building is now equipped with a 400 kWp rooftop photovoltaic power plant dedicated to self-consumption, 250 kWh storage batteries, and a heat pump heating system replacing the former gas-powered installations. These features significantly reduce the site’s carbon footprint, with CO₂ emissions divided by a factor of four, including the extension.
