AQVILA CONSULT HUNGARY has been appointed to full service consultancy for the construction of Coloplast’s new Portuguese production facility CMPT I.
CMPT I has a gross floor area of approx. 57,600 m² of which approximately 11,500 m² are clean rooms in the initial construction phase, and with over 20,000 m² once the facility is fully operational. Aqvila will provide pre-construction services (technical due diligence, site investigations, conceptual design, building permit design, tender design, prequalification of contractors, tendering, and contracting) as well as construction services (contract management, technical follow-up and construction spot supervision). The initial taking over by Coloplast Manufacturing Portugal of the constructed facility is planned to take place in October of 2025. The final taking over of the facility will take place in early 2026.
“Coloplast has chosen Portugal as the destination for the next manufacturing site for several reasons. Most importantly, Portugal has qualified and highly trained labor with an attractive salary level. It is also important that Portugal is in Europe, where we serve most of our users today and where more and more people will be needing our products in the years to come. This destination allows us to diversify our manufacturing footprint in Europe, which is currently concentrated in Hungary. Finally, the country has a large supply of renewable electricity as well as an ambition to become carbon neutral by 2050, thereby supporting our sustainability ambition,” says Allan Rasmussen, Executive Vice President of Global Operations Coloplast.
