Corning’s existing operational base is being expanded with a third production and logistics building within SEGRO Logistics Park Stryków. Corning has been part of the SEGRO Logistics Park Stryków since 2006. The more than 35,000 sqm development is part of the company’s ongoing expansion in Stryków, reinforcing Corning’s position as one of the key employers in central Poland. JLL advised Corning in the lease transaction.
Since the invention of the first low-attenuation optical fibre in 1970, Corning has consistently set the standard in the telecommunications industry. For 20 years, the company has been developing its manufacturing and key logistics operations in Stryków to address the evolving business needs of the EMEA region and to sustain the advancement of AI-driven data centres.
Corning was the first occupier at SEGRO Logistics Park Stryków and the first SEGRO customer in Poland for whom a bespoke building was constructed. Following the establishment of its first facility, Corning expanded its operations to a second facility in 2018.
The new building is being constructed in accordance with the rigorous requirements of BREEAM Excellent New Construction certification. Upon completion, the total operational space occupied by Corning at SEGRO Logistics Park Stryków will exceed 115,000 sq m. The new facility will commence operations in the second half of this year.
Arkadiusz Pawlak, OCS EMEA Expansion Programme Manager at Corning Optical Communications Polska, comments: “Our presence in Stryków is a story of steady growth. The decision to take a third facility stems from the need to increase production capacity to meet demand for modern fibre-optic solutions. Our decision to choose SEGRO was based on trust, the quality of the space, professional property management, and the park’s excellent location, which translates into the efficiency of our production and logistics processes.”
Bartosz Michalski, Director, Logistics, Poland, SEGRO, adds: “The fact that one of our first customers in Poland has decided on such a significant expansion after two decades of cooperation is, for us, the best proof that the buildings we provide genuinely support the long-term goals of our business customers. The expansion of the park with another eco-friendly building for such an innovative company as Corning confirms that Poland – and Stryków in particular – is viewed by global leaders as a safe and promising hub for advanced industry and a key location on Europe’s manufacturing map.”
