– The decision to lease a new warehouse was driven by the dynamic growth of our sales network and the need to ensure the expected level of service for our customers. Additionally, the development of new sales channels, including online, also influenced the decision to lease a new warehouse. Poznań is a proven location that allows for the organization of distribution on a regional and national scale. Furthermore, a business model based on leasing warehouse space allows us greater flexibility and the ability to adapt to a changing market – comments Maciej Maćkowiak, CEO of Elektroskandia Polska.
– Due to our entry into the Polish market last year and dynamic business growth, we decided to lease a new warehouse in the Poznań area. It is a strategic region on the logistics map of Poland – says Mariusz Cierluk, Branch Manager of Ekol in Poznań.
– We want the intermodal solutions we offer to also function in other new directions important for our development. This will allow us to make our offer more flexible beyond the currently existing connections to and from Turkey, especially where we have our own companies. New locations in Poland, including Poznań, are aimed at increasing these capabilities towards: Germany, Great Britain, France, Spain, or Italy – says Artur Pohl, Country Manager of Ekol Polska.
