The company headquartered in Germany was established in Czech Republic in 2004. Currently Erwin Quarder owns two production plants in Ostrava and in Michigan, USA.

Mr. Bernhard Schäfer, the Erwin Quarder Company Director in Czech Republic comments: The major factor in deciding on our possible place for the further expansion was a good location of our potential domicile. That is why we decided to lease the space in Ostrava – it is not only a very important regional city, but also the most strategic point of the whole area. This aspect combined with the high quality of the warehouse space convinced us to choose Tulipan Park Ostrava. Thanks to SEGRO we are able to benefit from an ideally suited existing infrastructure located in the heart of the Moravian region.

So far, the contract concluded with Erwin Quarder is the biggest lease agreement signed for Tulipan Park Ostrava. We are very pleased to welcome this company as one of our tenants – states Josef Husak, SEGRO’s Regional Manager in Czech Republic. In SEGRO we have always aimed at delivering the best located and high quality projects together with the professional management services.
