ARGAN : a second Aut0nom®-labelled extension for CELIO

Press release – Neuilly-sur-Seine, Tuesday, October 14, 2025 – 5.45 pm

ARGAN supports CELIO’s growth with a second

12,000 sq.m Aut0nom®-labelled extension,

bringing the site to 55,000 sq.m 

The construction of a 12,000 sq.m extension marks the third chapter of a story that began in 2012 between ARGAN and CELIO with the delivery of a 31,000 sq.m logistics site in the town of Amblainville (60). Upon delivery of this final phase, scheduled for summer 2026, the site will cover 55,000 sq.m, with CO₂ emissions reduced fourfold thanks to Aut0nom® certification.

A new 10-year long-term lease

For over ten years, CELIO has been operating from Amblainville (60). This town, served by the A16 French highway, is located at the gateway to the Île-de-France region, less than 20 minutes from the ‘Francilienne’ road. Initially covering 31,000 sq.m when it was delivered in 2012, the Amblainville site has since become CELIO’s sole European logistics platform. It was first extended in 2017 with two additional units and is now being expanded again with two more. Ultimately, the site will cover 54,500 sq.m.

The brand, specializing in men’s fashion, is thus reaffirming the long-term presence of its operations in Amblainville (60), having also made significant investments in the site’s mechanization. The joint commitment of both companies will be formalized through a new 10-year firm lease covering the entire site, which will take effect upon delivery of the ongoing extension.

Dividing carbon emissions by a factor of 4

ARGAN and CELIO have taken this new phase of development as an opportunity to integrate Aut0nom® equipment into the site and significantly improve its environmental performance.

A 400 kWp photovoltaic power plant will be installed on the roof, fully dedicated to CELIO’s self-consumption. It will be complemented by storage batteries with a capacity of 250 MWh. Lastly, the gas-powered heating system will be replaced by high-efficiency electric heat pumps. Together, these investments will reduce the site’s annual CO₂ emissions fourfold, even with the extension included.

Julie Schaf, Celio’s Supply Chain Director: “The Amblainville logistics site is emblematic of the evolution of our business in two key areas. First, it supports our continued growth with this second extension in just a few years; second, it fully meets our strong environmental ambitions with the site’s transition to the Aut0nom® standard. ARGAN’s agility and support on both real estate and environmental matters are a true added value for us.”

Ronan Le Lan, Chairman of ARGAN’s Executive Board: “This project is a perfect illustration of our DNA as a family-owned company that places client relationships at the heart of its strategy and takes a long-term approach. We continuously invest in our existing portfolio, particularly in improving its carbon footprint.”
