Banana ripening facility for London Gateway
Compagnie Fruitière UK, a leading supplier and ripener of bananas to the British marketplace, has taken occupation of a 69,718 sq ft ripening facility on practical completion of the building at DP World London Gateway.
The new ripening centre will replace Compagnie Fruitière’s existing operation in Dartford and will help to reinforce the company’s approach to a vertically integrated supply chain. It is expected to be fully operational by 2021.
The facility, located on plot LG70, offers multimodal integration with the UK supply chain as it is built adjacent to London Gateway’s deep-sea container port, with an international rail terminal on site.
The warehouse has received both a BREEAM Outstanding rating and an EPC rating of ‘A’.
