ROHLIG SUUS Logistics, a comprehensive logistics operator, has leased space in Szczecin at the modern class A North-West Logistic Park warehouse. This has provided the company with real opportunities to provide contract logistics services at the highest level. The company is already serving its first warehouse client on an area of 2,700 sqm.
At the beginning of October 2014, the Szczecin branch of ROHLIG SUUS Logistics moved to a new location, increasing its warehouse, terminal, and office space. The class A facility at North-West Logistic Park offers 4,000 sqm of high-bay warehouse space, approx. 500 sqm of functional office space, and additional docks, gates, and a ramp for direct shipment unloading.
A good location (right next to the S3 route, 5 km from the A6 motorway) and doubled transshipment capabilities of the terminal will positively influence further development, quality, and speed of the company’s road services, both LTL (less-than-truckload) and FTL (full-truckload). Meanwhile, the decision to launch contract logistics (advanced services in warehouse space) has already resulted in the first long-term contract signed with Cargotec, a Finnish company manufacturing machinery, cranes, and lifts.
– In the Szczecin market, we are one of the few companies offering a comprehensive range of logistics services. The modern class A facility at North-West Logistic Park has opened up the possibility for us to provide contract logistics services, which has further strengthened our position in the region. The branch’s goal is further development in Szczecin, both in terms of competencies and team size – said Marcin Grzelak, Director of the Szczecin branch at ROHLIG SUUS Logistics.
Alongside the newly launched contract logistics services, the Szczecin branch has long been a recognized operations planning and sea freight handling office, a customs agency at the port, as well as part of the national LTL distribution system and a strong center for domestic and international FTL transport for the operator.
The dynamic development of the Szczecin branch is evidenced by the increase in employment. Recently, 20 new people have joined the ROHLIG SUUS Logistics team in Szczecin, and 4 more are in the recruitment phase. Ultimately, over 60 employees are expected to work at the branch.
– The strategic location of our logistics park and the logistics spaces perfectly adapted to the needs of tenants make our investment an extremely attractive place for locating and developing companies in the logistics industry – emphasizes Mr. Andrzej Rosiński, President of the Management Board of North-West Logistic Park in Szczecin.
