On May 19, 2025, Noatum Logistics, a global logistics company under AD Ports Group, inaugurated its first robotically assisted refrigerated warehouse in Lisbon, Portugal, according to the company's release.
This development aims to enhance the group's integrated logistics services across the West Mediterranean region.
The 12,000-square-meter facility incorporates robotic stacking technology and offers temperature-controlled storage solutions tailored for industries such as food and beverage, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), healthcare, and pharmaceuticals.
Additional services include cross-docking, picking, labeling, customs processing, and weighing.
Strategically located within Lisbon’s North Logistics Platform, the warehouse benefits from multimodal connectivity due to its proximity to the city's international port, airport, and major road networks.
The facility integrates sustainable features, including rooftop solar panels and recycled construction materials, and is undergoing certification for LEED GOLD accreditation.
