For Floret Trading in Heinenoord, the Netherlands, Stawi manufactured the steel structure for a modern logistics facility, developed by STM Design & Build. The building brings together storage space for food and household products and a distinctive office positioned above the loading area.
The triangular site and unusual arrangement called for a carefully coordinated steel structure, integrating the requirements of the building design with practical fabrication and installation. As part of the STM Group ecosystem, Stawi contributed its steel production expertise to a project designed for efficient day-to-day operations.
The completed facility combines a 16-metre clear span and a functional storage layout with energy-efficient systems and high-quality office finishes. It demonstrates how specialized steel production supports a larger, integrated building project.
Full service care
STM Design & Build was responsible for the complete project, from the initial concept to construction and finishing. The architectural, structural and interior designs were developed in collaboration with iDB. Stawi manufactured the steel structure, working as part of the group’s integrated approach to engineering, production and construction.
Process-focused design
The triangular plot demanded efficient use of every square metre. In order to occupy the available space efficiently, the office was positioned above the loading area, allowing storage space and vehicles to operate underneath. The steel structure formed a key part of the solution for this distinctive arrangement.
Future-proof innovation
Sustainability was at the core of this project. The facility features an 87,000 wp solar power system optimized for energy consumption, a heat pump-driven floor heating system, and high-quality insulated materials for energy efficiency. These systems ensure the building meets current environmental standards while being ready for future demands.
Trust & safety
The steelwork was produced within a project combining architectural design, structural engineering and site execution. Coordination between the STM Group companies helped align the building's technical requirements with production and construction.
The Floret Trading project combines a purpose-made steel structure with an efficient logistics building on a challenging site. The original technical specifications can be retained below.
