Shops IKEA has long been called the "center of gravity" or even svoebrazny "Mecca" for lovers of furniture shopping. We have repeatedly wrote about the possible arrival IKEA in Belarus, but, for one reason or another, so far nothing has been implemented in practice. At the moment, information has appeared again that it is planned to build a distribution - logistics - center of the Swedish company. This was reported to the press by a representative of a Lithuanian holding called Vakaru medienos grupe. The construction site was planned for the Belarusian regional center - the city of Mogilev.
It is planned that the logistics complex, located in the city of Mogilev, will "work" for the supply of IKEA in Russia. Why is the role of a platform for logistics park was Belarus chosen? This is no coincidence. After all, more than a dozen Belarusian organizations are engaged in the production of goods supplied for sale in the IKEA retail network.
Specific official figures, however, unavailable. We know of no investment, no planned date of commissioning or area of the future logistics center. However, it was reported that as the place of sale project the most suitable of the FEZ (Free Economic Zone) "Mogilev". FEZ - a definite area where is a special legal regime for business and investment.
According to the Head of Administration FEZ "Mogilev" Andrei Yartsev, are already the design work, as well as discussed issues of financing. Construction work is planned to carry out by Belarusian contractors.
Note that the logistics center has nothing to do with the store, the products have IKEA here to buy it will be impossible. This is only an intermediate station between manufacturers and retail outlets. The logistics center will operate as follows: it will be sorted products companies-suppliers for IKEA (4 of them - residents of Mogilev), and then the goods will be delivered to IKEA StoresLocated in Russia.
