DB Schenker Logistics has moved into a high-performance transshipment terminal. The terminal, developed as part of SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk, is located in the largest investment zone in Pomerania – in the Pruszcz Gdański municipality.
DB Schenker Logistics, one of the leading providers of integrated logistics services, is the first tenant at the new SEGRO location. The companies have been working together since 2008. At SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk, the company will occupy 4,500 sqm of warehouse space and an additional 850 sqm of office space.
– Thanks to the good location of SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk, near major national roads, our new cross-docking terminal in Pomerania will be an important element in both the Polish and international network of DB Schenker Logistics connections. The new location will contribute to even higher quality of goods handling for our customers, continuous improvement, and business development – said Igor Nowaczyk, Director of the Gdynia Branch of Schenker Sp. z o.o.
DB Schenker Logistics has moved into a building situated on an almost 3.5-hectare plot located in Będzieszyn in the Pruszcz Gdański municipality, directly adjacent to major national transport routes.
– The areas of the Rural Municipality of Pruszcz Gdański are a major road hub and a natural gateway to the ports of the Tricity agglomeration. I am glad that after eight years of administrative procedures, in such a convenient location, right next to the A1 motorway toll gates, we have launched the largest investment zone in this part of the country – says the Mayor of Pruszcz Gdański, Magdalena Kołodziejczak. – It is also important that we managed to start work with such a large investor as SEGRO right from the beginning. This is undoubtedly a key partner among the nearly 3,000 business entities operating in our municipality.
– Pomerania is gaining importance thanks to road investments being carried out in the region. One of them is the A1 motorway (north-south), the section of which from Toruń to Gdańsk has already been put into service. Also under construction is the S6 expressway, which will ultimately connect Szczecin with the Tricity, and the S7 route, which will provide a connection between the Tricity and Warsaw. Such infrastructure will create excellent conditions for effective logistics operations in the future and facilitate access to locations throughout Poland and Northern European countries. A very important factor is also the friendly investment climate in the region. Thanks to the openness of local authorities, work on the first phase of SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk was completed in less than 12 months – claims Magdalena Szulc, SEGRO’s Director for Central Europe.
SEGRO Logistics Park Gdańsk will provide the market with 87,000 sqm of modern business space intended for warehouses and light production. The modules offered for lease will be available from 750 sqm and can be designed according to the individual requirements of tenants. The convenient and functional communication layout planned in the park includes wide internal roads, maneuvering areas, and parking lots for trucks.
