Panattoni Europe to develop manufacturing facility for Johnson Electric – EuropaProperty

Panattoni Europe is developing a manufacturing facility for Johnson Electric ─ a global leader in motion products and control systems. The 9,600 sqm investment is under development in Będzin and the company will be able to launch production there as early as the coming September. The contract was brokered by the international advisory firm Colliers International.

The trend for developing industrial facilities in the BTS formula in commercial real estate is reflected by Panattoni Europe’s new investment for Johnson Electric Poland – part of an international group operating in the electrical technology sector, a leading manufacturer of subsystems for a range of industries, including automotive, home appliance and medical applications.

The investment for Johnson Electric is an example of how currently used space can be optimised to enable further business growth. The company’s existing factory is scattered over several buildings in Dąbrowa Górnicza, and stands to be replaced by a single multi-functional industrial facility whose manufacturing section can be expanded in the future by an extra 6,000 sqm.

Robert Dobrzycki, Chief Executive Officer Europe Panattoni Europe, commented: “Custom tailored facilities fulfil the expectations of companies which seek to pursue their own, unique business model. A model that enables them to achieve a competitive edge and at the same time paves the way to business growth, while keeping all the necessary processes intact, at an optimal cost and within the shortest time possible.”

The extendibility of the manufacturing section also creates prospects of new job creation ─ in the current, first stage of operations, Johnson Electric will employ some 1,000 people.
