The first phase of revitalization of the old DMC ValMez complex successfully completed
In July 2022, the development company Demaco became the owner of the 13 ha industrial site, which until then was owned by the Schott production company. The company has leased more than 38,000 m2 of production and storage space in the premises for a long time from the new owner. Part of the agreement with Schott was the construction of a new 11,150 m2 storage hall, which has now been successfully put into operation.
“We are excited to announce the successful completion and handover of the first modern industrial hall. Our investment in this location creates new employment opportunities and thus contributes to the economic development of this beautiful Wallachian region”, says Jaroslav Kaizr, Partner and Sales Director of Demaco.
Valašské Meziříčí is not only a city at the confluence of two rivers, but also an important strategic transport hub that forms the backbone network of the Zlín Region for connections with the Moravian-Silesian Region, Poland and Slovakia.
The DMC ValMez campus is currently fully occupied and the construction of two more halls with a total area of 28,000 m2 is planned for this year. Demaco builds its halls according to high technical standards and at the same time can adapt the internal layout, technology and exterior design to suit its customers.
“The DMC ValMez industrial park is gradually undergoing its necessary revitalization with the new construction. We are creating new utilities, park infrastructure and planting new greenery.
Over the next three years, we plan to invest nearly $1bn in this park. CZK” adds Kaizr.
New development in the so-called “living brownfield” presents many challenges but also benefits for the developer. In DMC ValMez, this is mainly a high voltage connection of 110 kV in combination with a capacitive local distribution network and its own source of technological water. The proximity to the city center and the location on the busy road to Rožnov pod Radhostem means excellent accessibility to urban and intercity public transport as well as good access for pedestrians and cyclists.
