Apleona Wolfferts has been commissioned to provide building technology systems in the latest expansion stage of UPS’ freight and trans-shipment centre at Cologne Bonn Airport.

Apleona Wolfferts, Apleona’s building technology subsidiary, will provide HVAC and fire safety for the site. It will also fit the new terminal buildings with smoke extraction systems and install sanitary systems in the office towers.
