THE FIRST PILE HAS BEEN DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND FOR THE NEW BUILDING OF THE M&G GROUP IN ASSEN. M&G GROUP IS ACTIVE IN THE DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF FLUE GAS EXHAUST AND VENTILATION SYSTEMS. IT IS BUILDING A NEW FACTORY AND LOGISTICS HALL OF AROUND 39,000 SQUARE METRES FOR THE EUROPEAN MARKET AT A VISIBLE LOCATION ALONG THE A28 MOTORWAY IN THE BUSINESS PARK SOUTH. M&G CURRENTLY OPERATES FROM ELEVEN LOCATIONS, ALL IN THE NORTH OF THE NETHERLANDS. AFTER COMPLETION, ALL THESE LOCATIONS WILL MOVE TO THE NEW BUILDING IN ASSEN.
The new building will have various functions. Logistics and production with crane gantries will have a place in the hall, which makes it anything but a standard logistics hall. This is also the challenge for Pelecon; M&G would like to have the option of converting this production area into a logistics hall/storage facility in the future. To this end, the necessary provisions have been made, such as the preparation of dock positions, column positions and the internal heights are attuned to a logistics hall. In addition, the limited eaves height of twelve metres creates a challenge to develop a three-storey, high-quality office. This has been solved by applying the thinnest possible floor in combination with integrated floor layers.
For this project, Pelecon is working together with developer Borghese Logistics and architect Mies Architectuur. Pleijsier Bouw is responsible for the realisation of the project, with Linneman Bouw en Advies monitoring the BREEAM score.
