NOVIKO Animal Health has taken over premises at Panattoni Business Park Zdice. New distribution center will support international expansion
The Czech company NOVIKO Animal Health, a member of the Covetrus group, has begun using new premises at Panattoni Business Park Zdice. The company supplies pet food under the Calibra brand, as well as pet and livestock care products under the Covetrus brand. Thanks to the modern 12,400 m2 premises, NOVIKO Animal Health will expand its storage capacity and support the international expansion of its most important brands. From Zdice, it will primarily distribute products requiring specific storage conditions, for which the building's cooling system has been adapted.
NOVIKO Animal Health, a member of the Covetrus group, which is a global leader in animal health products, technologies, and services, has taken over its largest distribution center in the Czech Republic to date. The 12,400 m2 facility in Zdice will enable it to use modern technologies to store feed and other animal products in accordance with the strictest standards. The company will use the facility to distribute its own Calibra and Covetrus brands.
Calibra is a brand of premium and super-premium feed, treats, and other supplements for dogs, cats, and small rodents. The brand also offers a complete portfolio of specialized veterinary diets. Calibra was founded in the Czech Republic more than 20 years ago and is now actively sold in more than 40 countries around the world.
Covetrus products are designed with animal health professionals in mind, delivering simple, effective, high-quality solutions at a reasonable price. Thanks to their deep industry knowledge, innovative ways of working, and trusted advice, veterinarians in more than 40 countries around the world use Covetrus products in their daily practice.
The new premises enable NOVIKO Animal Health to distribute products that require specific storage conditions. Among other things, the building is equipped with a cooling system that ensures that the internal temperature does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius.
“We are delighted that NOVIKO Animal Health has placed its trust in us and decided to locate its distribution center at Panattoni Business Park Zdice. This industrial hub near Prague, with excellent connections to Western markets, offers outstanding logistics conditions as well as modern, environmentally friendly, and innovative facilities. Within a single hall, we were able to create tailor-made spaces for three different operations," says Jan Andrejco, Regional Development Director, Panattoni.
A significant part of the complex is set aside for natural elements and greenery, which, together with the light-colored facade, reduces the heat island effect. There is also a retention reservoir for collecting rainwater, which promotes efficient water management. The industrial park was built at a sufficient distance from the city's residential areas. This means that freight transport serving companies in the complex doesn´t pass through residential neighborhoods.
Panattoni Park Zdice is connected to the D5 motorway near exit 28. It is located approximately 40 km southwest of Prague and 120 km from Rozvadov on the Czechia-German border. German motorways provide convenient connections to Nuremberg, Regensburg, and Munich. There is also a railway corridor for long-distance and freight transport and the main train terminal in Zdice near the site.
