Mango, one of the largest fashion firms in Spain, has relied on the services of SOCOTEC's Health and Safety Coordination for the ambitious expansion of its logistics centre in Lliçà d'Amunt.

  • Years: 2023 – Present
  • Client: Mango
  • Location: Lliçà d'Amunt, Barcelona, Spain

The coordination and management of health and safety is essential given the nature of the project and the high volume of contractors involved, especially in a facility with high levels of fire load due to textile storage.

With an investment of 35 million euros, the surface area of the complex will reach 280,000 m², equivalent to about 40 football fields. This expansion will allow Mango to increase its logistics capacity for the e-commerce channel, providing greater capacity to the dispatch area and offering support to the company's new lines of business.
