Panattoni Europe, the Poland-focused industrial real estate developer, has completed a 32,000 m2 logistics centre for sports retailer Decathlon in Lódz.
Representing the company’s second central warehouse in Poland, the facility will serve both stationary stores and online sales.
'This investment provides yet more evidence of the boom enjoyed by the warehousing sector in Poland, which is stimulated by positive economic conditions overall and strong growth in e-commerce, which generates the need for such investments as the one for Decathlon – a central distribution warehouse, which will be responsible for serving a number of markets,' commented Robert Dobrzycki, CEO Europe for Panattoni Europe.
'For Panattoni Europe, too, this is a great achievement – again we have been able to support a major market player and business leader with our professional expertise, knowledge of the needs of e-commerce and experience,' Dobrzycki added.
Decathlon has been present in Poland since 2001, and today has 46 brick-and-mortar stores throughout the country plus an online shop.
