What aragon plataforma logistica sociedad anonima. does

Aragón Plataforma Logística S.A. (APL) is a public limited company wholly owned by the Government of Aragón through Corporación Empresarial Pública de Aragón, constituted in April 2017 as a Sociedad Anónima Unipersonal (S.A.U.) to centralize the management of the region's logistics infrastructure. Headquartered in Zaragoza, the company administers an integrated network of five logistics platforms — PLAZA (Zaragoza), PLHUS (Huesca), PLATEA (Teruel), PLFRAGA (Fraga) and PLZUERA — collectively covering more than 18 million square meters, of which PLAZA alone accounts for 13.1 million sqm and is described in source material as the largest logistics platform in Europe. The platforms host more than 450 companies and roughly 13,000 workers, spanning consumer goods, electronics, automotive, home goods, third-party logistics and rail-terminal operations.

APL's offering is fundamentally industrial real estate and intermodal connectivity rather than a software or services product. Core assets include developable logistics land, warehouses and built industrial property served by road, rail (via ADIF) and air (via Aena) connections, with the network positioned at the "km zero" point of the Yiwu-Madrid rail corridor. The technology stack is anchored by partnerships with the Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC, founded with MIT) for research and talent, ITAInnova for blockchain and big-data R&D, and the ALIA logistics cluster association for industry coordination. A recently launched unified digital portal enables parcel-search and platform selection across all five locations.

Revenue mechanics rest on three streams: long-term land leases and property rental to industrial tenants, occasional land sales for owner-occupied developments, and ancillary logistics services. The customer base is anchored by multinational shippers and 3PLs including Inditex, B/S/H, Decathlon, DHL, Kuehne+Nagel, DB Schenker, Porcelanosa, Pikolin, Grupo Carreras, Grupo Sesé, Röchling Automotive, Ronal Ibérica, KPMG and Noatum Rail Terminal. Because APL is a public instrumentality, no commercial revenue figures are disclosed and pricing/contract terms are not publicly reported.
