One of the most important functions of the new facility will be to support the e-commerce operations of the company as they continue to grow in line with global trends. In March 2021, the global online electronics market was valued at USD 343 billion, and by 2025 its value is expected to have grown to as much as USD 511 billion. These changes are also evident in Poland, where in 2020 the online sales of such devices as telephones and laptops increased by over 20 percent. More customers are embracing this form of shopping, the attractiveness of which has been increased by shorter delivery times.
“The electronic goods market is growing rapidly, driven by the steady increase in the consumption of small and large electronic devices, including household appliances. We have already delivered more than one million sqm for various chains. Our experience in servicing this industry, as well as our activity in the strategically-located Central Poland market, have made us the ideal partner for the development of trans-regional projects. We are delighted that the Neonet chain saw in Panattoni an opportunity for cooperating on the next step in its growth in the domestic market – and we believe that this is not the last time we will cooperate in this way,” says Katarzyna Kujawiak, Development Director, Panattoni.
The park’s location is in central Poland, close to the S14 expressway and approx. 35 km from the junction of the A1 and A2 motorways, provides the perfect conditions for serving Neonet’s customers and stationery stores throughout Poland. The company’s network is constantly evolving, and therefore modern and tailored industrial space has become indispensable to it. The full range of Neonet’s products will be stored in the Pabianice facility. By providing this space, Panattoni has completed the first stage of the park.
Panattoni Park Łódź-Pabianice will eventually comprise 123,000 sqm in four buildings, with the construction work on the second to start in Q4 2022. The facilities will form a modern complex offering a wide range of solutions for warehousing and logistics, distribution and light production. Panattoni Park Łódź-Pabianice is also to be BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certified.
