Garocentre: Wallonia’s logistics hotspot

Located in La Louvière, the Garocentre logistics hub offers 55,000 m² of warehousing space and 72 loading docks. Its position is a strategic asset for companies seeking more efficient distribution and transport solutions.

What makes Garocentre stand out?

  • Faster deliveries thanks to an ideal location
    Centrally located in Wallonia, Garocentre offers direct access to multimodal transport (road, water, rail). Five barges depart weekly to the Port of Antwerp, helping businesses reduce reliance on busy motorways. This multimodal approach lowers both transport costs and CO₂ emissions.
  • The largest warehousing capacity in the region
    With total capacity for 100,000 pallets, Garocentre is the ideal solution for companies that want to combine warehousing and distribution efficiently. By aligning both functions intelligently, businesses avoid unnecessary steps and empty journeys – resulting in direct cost savings.
  • Sustainable and energy-efficient
    The site is BREEAM Excellent certified and features 7,500 solar panels, rainwater recovery and LED lighting. An industrial battery park is also being installed for even more sustainable energy management. By tapping into these solutions, your company also boosts its own sustainability performance.

Garocentre is designed to serve companies across a wide range of sectors: from Food and FMCG, to household goods and electronics and industrial applications. This versatility makes it an ideal asset for any company looking for scalable, sustainable and future-ready warehousing.
