MDC2 Park Łódź South consists of two distribution and logistics buildings with a planned total GLA of over 80,000 sqm. Oriflame’s space will be customised to allow for storing and distributing the tenant’s wide range of products.
“The decision to relocate our logistics centre to MDC2 Park Łódź South is a response to the company’s dynamic growth and the growing needs of our consumers in Poland and Europe. The facility meets all our sustainability and energy efficiency requirements. The environmentally friendly solutions applied are perfectly in line with our environmental goals. We are convinced that this investment will allow us to better meet the needs of our consultants and their customers even better by delivering products in less time and with the highest quality of service” says Tomasz Gomułka, Sr. Director Global SC Transformation, Oriflame.
MDC2 is leading the change in sustainable warehouse space in Poland. All MDC2’s buildings are BREEAM New Construction certified minimum at an Excellent level.
