The West Midlands, together with the neighbouring East Midlands, is part of the largest and most important logistics hub in the UK, thanks to its sizable population, central location and dense transportation network. The West Midlands, the centre of the Industrial Revolution, is still home to important automotive and aviation manufacturers, including Jaguar Land Rover and Goodyear and Dunlop. To this day, the Midlands is more manufacturing intensive than any other region in the UK. As a result, industrial properties and warehouses in the Midlands play an important role in providing distribution services for local factories.

Logistics and distribution operators in the Midlands rely on motorways, such as the M1, M5, M6 and M40, to transport goods to cities and urban areas, such as Liverpool and Manchester in the north, and London in the south.

Prologis operates industrial properties and warehouses in prime locations throughout the West Midlands.
