VGP has handed over a building in its VGP Park Kecskemét to the Swiss technology company Flisom AG. VGP Park Kecskemét is being built on a site of approx. 86,000 sqm which will represent a total rentable area of about 40,000 sqm.
The first building is under construction with a total rentable space of approx. 17,000 sqm. Besides Flisom, the company Bohnenkamp will move into this first building in December 2020. The development of the second building will start next year. VGP owns a second plot in the same industrial area with a total rentable area of approx. 39,000 sqm. Development will start after the completion of the first park
Flisom is a technology company that has developed breakthrough solar film technology which enables its usage in a wide variety of applications, ranging from building roofs and facades to transportation platforms and consumer electronic devices. Flisom is setting up its first industrial-scale 50MW manufacturing facility in VGP Park Kecskemét to serve its expanding global customer base.
The production facility with adjacent offices with a total surface of approx. 10,000 sqm is an example of VGP’s tailor-made solutions. For this specialized production site, VGP installed a reinforced concrete structure to serve as “clean room” and is providing the building with an optimal energy supply.
Sustainability and energy efficiency are central parameters for the commercial real estate developed by VGP. The company launched and implemented numerous initiatives in 2019 alone. One of these is the introduction of VGP Renewable Energy, a new separate business unit wholly owned by VGP N.V., to use the available roof space at VGP's parks for photovoltaic systems and modern energy technologies. The company has set itself the goal of certifying all new buildings to be constructed from 2020 onwards with a BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) Very Good certification. The VGP Foundation was also established in 2019.
