Kimbult Industrial Park is a modern industrial development located in Laser Park, Johannesburg — one of Gauteng's established warehousing and logistics precincts. The park benefits from excellent connectivity to key transport routes and provides high-quality industrial space for growing businesses.
The property accommodates warehousing, distribution and light manufacturing operations serving the greater Johannesburg market. Located within the thriving Laser Park industrial node, the park supports businesses with significant daytime operational and electricity requirements.
The combination of large warehouse roof space and high daytime energy consumption made a commercial solar PV installation a strong fit for the facility. The completed system now reduces grid electricity consumption, lowers operating costs and improves long-term energy resilience for tenants.
