A modern office and service facility, the MAN Truck&Bus Center for MAN and Neoplan commercial vehicles, is being built in Modlnica near Krakow. The investor for this building, which covers an area of over 2,000 square meters, is the Krakow-based development company 7R Logistic.
Construction of the MAN Truck&Bus Center facility began in September 2012, with the planned completion date set for the second quarter of 2013. The general contractor for this location is the company DEEL from Bielsko-Biała.
The investor, 7R Logistic SA, was selected by MAN Truck&Bus Center after a several-month process of choosing the best development proposal and after presenting the most favorable location and rental offer for the new MAN Truck and Bus Service and Office Centers in the northern part of Warsaw and in Modlnica, in the Krakow agglomeration. Both 7R Logistic locations are situated in the immediate vicinity of major transport arteries, i.e., the S8 expressway and the S7 expressway (the northern part of the Krakow bypass), offering excellent exposure and connectivity. 7R Logistic is both the developer of the investment and the lessor and manager of the facility.
– The Deel company has already carried out similar service station projects. Experience in constructing this type of facility allows us, firstly, to efficiently prepare the implementation project and, secondly, to propose favorable price conditions for both parties – says Adam Dobrzański, representative of the DEEL company.
MAN is consistently implementing its strategy for developing its service network in our country. Between 2009 and 2012 alone, the company invested over 10 million euros in its service network. The facilities are accompanied by the necessary transport infrastructure (including parking lots and maneuvering areas), technical infrastructure, and site development elements, including small architecture elements: fences, entrance gates, advertising pylons, and flagpoles.
– This is a prestigious investment for us on the Polish market. We were chosen for this project despite our relatively short presence in the BTS market and having only our own, Polish capital. This is a distinction for us that has non-financial value. Completing two investments for MAN Truck&Bus Polska on time and without any reservations from our client opens the way for us to new, even more ambitious tasks – emphasizes Ryszard Gretkowski, Vice President of the Management Board of 7R Logistic S.A.
The new facilities will house not only MAN service stations but also sales offices for new and used MAN trucks and Neoplan buses. Each of them will feature specialized workshop halls designed for vehicle maintenance with six truck repair bays, a professional diagnostic line, and a modern office section. The MAN Truck&Bus Centers will offer their service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
