Alstom moves into new Salzgitter logistics hall, Garbe invests EUR 40m

Alstom has leased in full, and already moved into, a new 31,200 m² logistics property built by developer Garbe Industrial in Salzgitter, where the rolling-stock maker stores and distributes spare parts and new parts for locomotives and trains. Garbe invested about EUR 40 million; the building was completed in the first quarter of 2026 on a 51,000 m² brownfield site of a former munitions factory that Garbe took over from Alstom four years earlier and cleared of ordnance and contamination. Nine doors at the rear allow side unloading of bulky rail components; the hall is heated by district heating, the roof is prepared for photovoltaics and Garbe is aiming for DGNB Gold certification. The report names no new jobs, and the date is the day of the report.
