The OFB Projektentwicklung GmbH celebrated the topping-out ceremony of its logistics project in Gotha/ Emleben on April 28 in the presence of numerous guests. The event marked an intermediate step on the way to the planned completion in September of this year, according to a press release from OFB Projektentwicklung on April 29.
