UPS opens new Polish distribution hub
Property developer Panattoni Europe yesterday (2 September) announced the official opening of the new UPS distribution hub in Stryków, Poland. The 14,250-square-metre facility was developed as a build-to-own (BTO) investment and purpose-built for UPS’s requirements.
The distribution hub has been equipped with sorting technology that can process up to 15,000 parcels per hour.
Marek Dobrzycki, Managing Director Panattoni Europe, commented: “With a BTO investment, the developer is responsible for complete execution: from finding the right site for development (in this case it was 12 ha of land pieced together from 10 smaller plots with different owners), through following all the legal and administrative procedures, to supervising construction, acceptance of the finished facility and delivery to the customer.”
The Stryków hub features a cross-docking platform, with 70 docks as well as smaller gates for loading and unloading.
As a result, the facility combines the functionalities of a reloading centre and a distribution depot for parcels of various sizes, and its location.
According to Panattoni, Stryków is “one of the top locations dedicated to the courier business” and the facility is also close to Łódź and major transport routes: Stryków II interchange on the A2 motorway, as well as road 71 (Zgierz-Stryków) near national road 14 (Warsaw-Łódź).
