ArjoHuntleigh, part of the Getinge Group, one of the world’s largest suppliers of medical equipment, has decided to continue its cooperation with SEGRO by leasing space at Tulipan Park Poznań. The extension of the long-term contract covers over 17,000 sqm of previously leased warehouse space with an office and social module.
ArjoHuntleigh is a global leader in the production of medical equipment, employing 4,500 people in over 30 countries. The company offers a wide range of integrated solutions that improve the quality and efficiency of care for people with limited mobility in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The ArjoHuntleigh product portfolio includes medical equipment, hygiene systems, medical beds, therapeutic mattresses, as well as disinfection and diagnostic devices.
In Poland, the company began operations in 2007 in Komorniki near Poznań, as part of Tulipan Park Poznań, where it currently employs over 535 people. Every week, 150 hoists, 650 medical beds, and 700 mattresses for people requiring specialized care roll off the ArjoHuntleigh production line at the facility. Since 2009, the Polish branch of ArjoHuntleigh has been implementing a modern production management system – Lean Manufacturing – based on the philosophy of reducing waste while improving work processes and increasing product quality.
– At ArjoHuntleigh, we also place great importance on creating a friendly work environment. In our production plant in Komorniki, we use 5S practices, which allow for harmonious work in an orderly environment, as well as the Kaizen philosophy, based on the gradual improvement of all aspects of the company’s operations through the ideas of our employees – says Paweł Cisowski, General Manager of ArjoHuntleigh Poland.
The space leased by ArjoHuntleigh is located within Tulipan Park Poznań.
– The investment is distinguished by its excellent location: on the border of the Komorniki and Plewiska municipalities, just 10 km from the center of Poznań, by the A2 Moscow – Berlin motorway and national road No. 5 to Wrocław. The park, which will ultimately offer a total of 230,000 sqm of modern warehouse and production space, has enormous development potential. The currently existing space is 126,000 sqm. As part of the next phase of the project, it is possible to quickly deliver a facility with an area of 8,700 sqm, and another 96,000 sqm of flexible business space can be built on over 23 hectares of land characterized by excellent visibility directly from the A2 motorway – emphasizes Waldemar Witczak, Regional Director of SEGRO.
