This is Difarco's second distribution facility at Park Piacanza. The company already leases a 328,442-sf space from ProLogis. The park's four existing facilities comprise 861,113 sf.

"We are pleased to provide Difarco with another state-of-the-art facility in one of Italy's most strategic distribution hubs," says Ranald Hahn, regional head of Southern Europe for ProLogis. "This building is part of the first phase of development for ProLogis Park Piacenza, which will continue to expand over the next three years. Ultimately, the park will accommodate 2.5 million sf of distribution space."

The park is located 31 miles south of Milan on the A1 and A21 motorways, which gives tenants easy access to major transportation arteries throughout Italy.

"ProLogis Park Piacenza combines convenient access to a variety of transportation channels with high-quality facilities, making it the ideal location for Difarco's continued expansion as Italy's leading distributor of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals," notes Cesare D'Acquisto, CEO of Difarco.
