CTP has leased circa 18,000 sqm of industrial and logistics space in Slovakia to Jiangsu Xinquan Automotive Trim. Jiangsu Xinquan is leasing 17,486 sqm at CTPark Pre?ov South, combining both warehouse and office space. CTPark Pre?ov South is strategically located in Slovakia?s third-largest city, with excellent motorway connection to Ko?ice (40km) and the automotive cluster in ?ilina /Martin (200km), and easy access to Poland (70km).

The Pre?ov region benefits from a highly skilled workforce, competitive labour costs, a diversified local economy with a strong industrial heritage and the highest available level of state aid. The region of Eastern Slovakia has witnessed substantial foreign direct investment, highlighting the area's economic potential. One of China?s leading total solution providers for automotive trim parts, this will be Jiangsu Xinquan Automotive Trim?s first plant in Europe, in the latest evidence of the nearshoring trend where multinationals are increasingly basing their manufacturing closer to where their customers are located, in response to global supply chain disruptions and a shifting geopolitical backdrop.

The CEE region, in particular Slovakia, Czechia, and Hungary, has firmly established itself as a highly efficient automotive manufacturing hub worldwide, and surpassed Germany in nominal car production in 2022. Asian companies (mostly from China, Japan, and Korea) are part of this trend, having been steadily investing in the CEE region since the 2000s, and their investment is set to increase further given that Europe has emerged as a pivotal component of China's worldwide expansion in the electric vehicle sector. The east of Slovakia is a location where CTP invested in speculative land purchases several years ago.

As a result, it is now ready to respond to the growing demand for industrial real estate in the area, driven by a combination of factors such as nearshoring and rapidly expanding economies in the CEE region. CTP owns and operates three parks in eastern Slovakia - CTPark Pre?ov South, CTPark Pre?ov North and CTPark Ko?ice.
