Spanish supermarket retailer Mercadona has commenced building its logistics block in the municipality of Huévar del Aljarafe in Seville, where it plans to construct a new storage warehouse facility.

The expansion requires an investment by the company of 35 million euros ($40.3 million) executed throughout several stages, with the new warehouse facility, dedicated to storage, preparation and shipment of fresh products, intended to be in operation by 2021.

The new storage warehouse facility shall be added to the existing operational facilities located in Huévar del Aljarafe.

In 2017, the company allocated more than $16 million to improve its Andalusian logistics blocks.
