At the beginning of March 2013, DPD Polska launched a new 7,000 sqm cross-dock distribution terminal at the SEGRO Industrial Park Wrocław. The terminal will serve, among others, Western European countries – France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands.
On March 1, 2013, the company took over a modern cross-dock terminal at the SEGRO Industrial Park Wrocław. The new building was constructed in a BTS system, taking into account the client’s specialized requirements, and is equipped with a modern sorting facility and a shipment monitoring system at every stage of transport. The launch of the facility is part of the development of DPD Polska’s logistics network in the country. The company’s terminal in Wrocław is the second DPD branch located within a SEGRO investment in Poland.
Krzysztof Suchenia, Property Management Manager at DPD Polska, emphasizes the importance of the new distribution center: – The facility leased at SEGRO Industrial Park Wrocław is currently the most modern DPD Polska regional branch in the country. This is possible, among other things, thanks to the use of a specialized parcel sorting conveyor with a capacity of over 7,000 shipments per hour. The terminal’s operational efficiency is also influenced by an automatic parcel scanning system, as well as a 24-hour work system.
Magdalena Szulc, SEGRO Director for Central Europe, highlights the advantages of SEGRO Industrial Park Wrocław: – SEGRO’s strategy is to provide customers with the highest quality specialized business space in locations that are strategic from the tenants’ point of view. SEGRO Industrial Park Wrocław is another investment that provides our clients with optimal logistics solutions. The opening of the new DPD Polska terminal inaugurates operational activities at our new park.
Wojciech Papierak, President of the Management Board of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A., adds that in the current market situation, implemented investments must realistically respond to the needs of tenants. – Thanks to the business cooperation between Segro and PHN, it was possible to introduce to the market a facility with truly great potential, combining a high standard, flexible solutions, and, above all, a convenient location. The implementation of similar projects with JV partners is an important element of the PHN Group’s operating strategy.
SEGRO Industrial Park Wrocław is the developer’s first investment in Lower Silesia. The facility, located on a 10-hectare plot in the north-eastern part of the city on Bierutowska Street, will ultimately provide 40,000 sqm of modern warehouse space to the market. The advantage of the new logistics center is its location near Jana III Sobieskiego Avenue, one of Wrocław’s main communication arteries, and in close proximity to the junction with the city’s new bypass. The project is being implemented on the basis of a business partnership in the form of a JV company between SEGRO and Polski Holding Nieruchomości.
