DACHSER, one of the leading global logistics operators, is expanding its branch in Stryków near Łódź. The entire project, which is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2018, includes the expansion of the existing warehouse with facilities totaling over 8,000 square meters. The new transshipment hall is expected to be commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2017.
As part of the investment carried out at its Stryków branch, DACHSER will increase the local warehouse space by approximately 4,500 square meters. The number of ramps will ultimately increase to 72. This will significantly increase the transshipment capacity of this cross-docking terminal. In the next stage of the project, a modern three-story office building with an area of approximately 2,400 square meters will be constructed. In addition to the branch, it will house, among others, the headquarters of the company’s Polish management board and the DACHSER customs agency.
– DACHSER is developing very dynamically in Poland, and Stryków is one of the key points on the country’s logistics map, so a significant expansion of our branch has become necessary to be able to carry out logistics processes for the companies cooperating with us as efficiently as possible. This is a very important step for our company, which will bring benefits to all parties – says Dr. Eng. Grzegorz Lichocik, President of DACHSER in Poland.
– We are building a very modern facility that will significantly improve our operations. We will definitely increase our transshipment capabilities, and the warehouse will also be adapted for the storage of hazardous goods. The use of LED lighting and recuperation will allow us to save energy. To minimize the impact of our activities on the environment, we will, among other things, collect rainwater. We also want it to be a friendly place for employees, so there will be a canteen, a spacious car park for passenger cars, and a bicycle shelter – adds Michał Simkowski, General Manager of DACHSER European Logistics.
The terminal in Stryków is currently one of eight Polish DACHSER branches. The warehouse was the operator’s first facility in our country since it began operations here in 2006.
