Berlin WHOLESALE MARKET – FRUCHTHOF

Fruit market – the natural choice
In the Fruchthof hall (total area 29,000 m²) which was thoroughly modernized in 2007, wholesalers occupy a sales area of 21,000 m² where they offer their customers a wide range of goods and a whole new shopping experience:
• The new lighting concept creates a bright, friendly atmosphere
• Locating the central cooling plant for all the cool rooms outside the hall has considerably reduced noise levels inside
• Unbroken cool chains, covered loading/ unloading ramps, transport paths and customer parking space combine to maintain consistent produce quality
• Short distances within the hall and from hall to parking lot facilitate efficient work patterns and save the buyers time.
