Goodman, a global expert in logistics real estate, has signed three lease agreements for a total of 50,300 sqm of warehouse space at the Goodman Toruń Logistics Centre. The new client is Mueller Fabryka Świec, which has leased a 15,900 sqm warehouse. Existing clients, Nissin Logistics and FM Bravo, have extended their leases, resulting in the Toruń centre being 100% leased.
Mueller Fabryka Świec is part of Gebr. Mueller Kerzenfabrik, one of the largest and oldest candle manufacturers in Europe. One of the company’s production plants is located less than 50 km from the new warehouse at the Goodman Toruń Logistics Centre, where finished goods and semi-finished products will be stored. Due to the specific nature of the stored products, Goodman and Mueller have installed special safety solutions, including smoke extraction systems and in-rack sprinkler systems. Mueller Fabryka Świec was represented in the lease transaction by the advisory firm JLL.
– We are pleased that Goodman will support us in our further development. We sell our candles to the largest domestic and international stores, retail chains, and wholesalers. The new warehouse space at the Goodman Toruń Logistics Centre, close to our plant in Grudziądz, will contribute to a more balanced production load and reduce the seasonality effect in the production process. We hope that this will translate into better service for our customers and improve our company’s competitiveness – says Robert Spychała, Vice President of the Management Board of Mueller Fabryka Świec.
In addition to the transaction with Mueller Fabryka Świec, Goodman has also extended agreements with existing clients in the other two facilities of the Goodman Toruń Logistics Centre. Logistics operator Nissin Logistics Poland has increased its leased space to 25,700 sqm, which was the third-largest lease transaction on the Polish market in the first quarter of 2015. Furthermore, furniture manufacturer FM Bravo has leased 8,700 sqm. The list of the centre’s clients is completed by logistics operator Yusen Logistics, which leases 15,000 sqm.
– The good location of the Goodman Toruń Logistics Centre gives our clients easy access to infrastructure that allows for distribution activities throughout Poland, including the Port of Gdańsk, which is used for international trade and transport – says Błażej Ciesielczak, Regional Director of Goodman for Central and Eastern Europe.
The Goodman Toruń Logistics Centre, with a total area of 65,000 sqm, is located in Crystal Park within the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone in Łysomice near Toruń.
