Simultaneously, we prioritise occupant comfort at our logistics park by incorporating advanced solutions that enhance functionality and environmental sustainability. This approach is appreciated by tenants, who choose our warehouse spaces as long-term business locations,” said Radosław T. Krochta, CEO of MLP Group S.A.
