Space for Growth
We invest in prime locations—typically grey and brownfields that we rehabilitate—and create sustainable and energy-efficient logistics sites that are fit for the future.
We provide our clients the space for growth, offering tailor-made, future-oriented multimodal logistics sites in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany that emphasize location, sustainability, and opportunities for expansion. Our sites provide seamless connections to highways, railways, airports, and seaports, optimizing supply chain operations and cutting transportation costs. This enables our clients to meet their distribution needs efficiently, while enhancing sustainability by reducing unnecessary transport and emissions.
A legacy of innovation
Montea continues the vision of Pierre De Pauw, a pioneer in Belgian logistics real estate. Pierre was one of the first people in Belgium to see the potential of transforming disused industrial property and polluted lands into warehousing. He continued to build his vision throughout his lifetime. From our origins as a family business in Aalst, Belgium, Montea was listed in 2006 with a €100 million portfolio. Under the leadership of CEO Jo De Wolf and Chairman Dirk De Pauw, our portfolio has grown to €2.5 billion, with a focus on long-term value creation for our stakeholders.
Meeting global supply chain challenges
With a very sizeable land bank, we are well-positioned to develop innovative projects and expand our footprint across Europe. We have 100 multimodal sites in our protfolio to meet the growing demands of global supply chains and e-commerce. Our projects range from large-scale distribution centers to specialized city logistics hubs for top-tier clients, including Amazon, DHL, Decathlon, and Danone, as well as leading Belgian businesses like Dries Van Noten and Katoen Natie. Every day, we provide more than 45,000 people with a pleasant workplace in our warehouses.
Pioneering sustainability
We are acutely aware of our social impact. We pioneered the transformation of polluted industrial sites into carbon neutral logistics hubs for the future. We’re redefining logistics real estate with net-zero emission buildings powered by renewable energy. By transforming polluted industrial sites and investing in energy storage systems, we are helping clients navigate the energy transition. Our green projects aim to reduce CO2 emissions by 45% by 2027, creating logistics hubs for a sustainable future.
A BBB+ investment grade for ambitious growth
Our revenue grew by almost 125% between 2018 and 2023, driven by a portfolio focused on long-term value creation. This means investing in strategically located sites, in our own developments, and in solar panels and battery energy storage systems, as well as in existing property. At an average of 90%, our operating margin is one of the best in European real estate. Thanks to our success, Montea has achieved a key milestone: a BBB+ investment grade rating from Fitch Ratings. This strong credit rating will further support our ambitious growth across the four countries we operate in.
Always looking ahead
From goods storage to energy and data storage, Montea is evolving to meet tomorrow’s challenges. By staying creative and forward-thinking, we ensure that there is always space for growth—for our clients, communities, and the world of logistics.
