Panattoni Europe has announced the completion of an investment for RECARO Aircraft Seating Polska Sp. z o.o. Within the planned eight months, a modern production facility with an area of 10,700 sqm was built in Świebodzin.
Panattoni Europe has finished construction work on a production facility for RECARO Aircraft Seating Polska Sp. z o.o. – a company specializing in the production of economy class aircraft seats. The new building was constructed in Świebodzin, just a few kilometers from the company’s original headquarters. The investment covers a total area of 10,700 sqm, of which 8,800 sqm is dedicated to the production and warehousing of aircraft seats. The remaining part of the facility, 1,900 sqm, consists of two-level social and office space, the creation of which was accompanied by a non-standard and extremely contemporary facade design – glazed in the communication area. Work on the facility began in November 2011 and was completed on schedule in the second quarter of 2012.
– The hall was built according to our expectations. I am glad that in the near future we will be able to move our company headquarters to such a safe and modern building. I would like to thank Panattoni very much for such a professional execution of the project – said Uwe Köthe, President of the Management Board of RECARO Aircraft Seating Polska Sp. z o.o.
The facility is distinguished by modern technological solutions, thanks to which natural lighting of the roof and walls reaches as much as 12%. Furthermore, an installation system responsible for optimal energy management has been applied. Thanks to it, it is possible to carry out a recuperation process, i.e., the recovery of thermal energy used to heat the facility’s rooms. Due to the type of products manufactured – aircraft seats – one of the most technologically advanced special fire protection systems was used in the facility, meeting the conditions for obtaining the Highly Protected Risk (HPR) certificate, in accordance with the FMGlobal Standard.
The new production hall of RECARO Aircraft Seating Polska Sp. z o.o. was built in Świebodzin, at Dożynkowa and Łużycka streets. This is part of the provincial road No. 276, leading from Świebodzin to Krosno Odrzańskie. Świebodzin is a strategic location on the map of western Poland. National road No. 2 running from the east to the west of Poland (Terespol-Świecko) intersects here with the S3 expressway connecting the north-west of Poland with the south-west end (from Świnoujście to the Polish-Czech border crossing in Jakuszyce). In Poland, the S3 route will ultimately be 500 km long and will connect cities including Szczecin, Gorzów Wielkopolski, Zielona Góra, and Legnica.
