EUROCENTRE, a multi-modal logistics hub on 300 hectares, is located 15 km north of metropolitan Toulouse, with showcase frontage on the Atlantic-Mediterranean turnpike (Bordeaux-Toulouse-Narbonne) and the A 20 (Paris-Toulouse).
By combining rail/road/turnpike facilities, this hub (one of the most important logistics centers in southern Europe in terms of size and the quality of its facilities) offers suitable logistics solutions:
- over 200 hectares of constructible land, railway sidings
- Logistis : logistics rental facilities of 120,000 m²
ALBASUD (Montauban, Tarn-et-Garonne):

A 60-hectare extension (Albasud II), equipped with a rail connection to the Paris/Toulouse line, has been developed specifically for logistics platforms; TNT Logistics moved into its 27,000 m² warehouse in February 2003, and two other companies are due to follow shortly.

The zone currently covers 55 hectares and offers the infrastructures and real estate necessary for the installation of logistics facilities of up to 20,000 m².
