The La Selva Integrated Centre of the Vallès, covering a gross area of 44.2 hectares, is the high-turnover logistics platform of the Barcelona metropolitan region. It was promoted by the Catalan Government through the CIMALSA public company with the aim of offering a space with optimum conditions of location and service for road goods transport companies. It is strategically situated in the municipality of Santa Perpètua de Mogoda, between two major communication links: the AP-7 and the C-33. Since it came into operation in 1997 hectares it has become a key goods distribution point, primarily in Spain, but with a clear export component.
The CIM Vallès is designed especially for high-rotation logistics activity, and it has 209,000 m2. of warehouses and handling yards, and the rest devoted to roadways, parking zones and services for the companies and carriers.
The CIM is a closed site with two controlled accesses, one to the north by the AP-7, and another to the south by the C-33. The CIM has surveillance and security facilities, such as access control, with vehicle licence plate recognition, and CCTV, which is further reinforced by security personnel 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As well as this surveillance and security service, and to ensure the perfect state of repair of the Centre, the complete maintenance services of the facilities, gardening, road cleaning and selective waste collection are contracted collectively.
The CIM currently houses over seventy logistics and services companies; its activity generates a movement of over 242,000 vehicles a month, of which approximately 47% are lorries and the rest are vans and cars.
