Regulatory News:
CTP, Europe's largest listed developer, owner, and manager of
industrial and logistics properties by gross lettable area (GLA),
has leased around 10,000 sqm of modern warehouse space at CTPark
Warsaw North to Trako Team Rafał Kopański, a Polish brand from the
transport, shipping and logistics (TSL) sector.
Trako Team will open its first warehouse in the country at
CTPark Warsaw North, which is located in the Czosnów municipality
near Warsaw and is where it will store, textiles, packaging and
household chemicals, among other things. The goods are mainly from
the European Union, but deliveries are also expected from countries
including the United States, India, China and Turkey. They will
then be distributed to production factories in the Warsaw area and
retail chains across the EU.
The decision to lease its first logistics and warehouse centre
is a strategic moment in the development of Trako Team Rafał
Kopański, which is involved in transport and forwarding, as well as
cross-docking services, warehousing and pallet and full truckload
distribution. The company's strategy to date has been to partially
outsource its services but it will now carry out in-house logistics
and warehousing operations at CTPark Warsaw North, in part due to
its excellent location just 20 km away from Warsaw and on the S7
expressway to Gdansk.
CTPark Warsaw North offers a wide range of warehouse activities
for light production/manufacturing and logistics customers. The
park's strategic location makes it an attractive option for a wide
range of potential customers looking for logistics solutions and
gives huge possibilities for hiring skilled staff.
Trako Team Rafał Kopański will move into CTPark Warsaw North in
August 2024, joining existing tenants such as Klima Sp. z o.o. CTP
plans to expand the park with a new building of approximately
13,300 sqm, meaning the entire complex will consist of two
buildings with a total area of nearly 78,000 sqm when complete.
Looking ahead to the next few years, Trako Team plans further
expansion within the complex. The lease transaction was brokered by
the AXI IMMO consulting agency.
“The location of warehousing and distribution centres is
strategic for supply chain efficiency. It is a key element from the
perspective of speed and transport costs, as well as proximity to
sales areas. It therefore has an impact on the business success of
the entire company, and so we are seeing increasingly strong demand
for logistics space from those who want to consolidate their
business in one location and provide comprehensive services from
there. Nearly 45 per cent of all our CTParks in Poland are occupied
by tenants from the 3PL sector, i.e. companies offering their
logistics solutions for the needs of other companies. I am
delighted to see Polish brands developing in such a dynamic way and
I am glad that Trako Team Rafał Kopański will join the tenants of
CTPark Warsaw North - a facility that will enable them to expand
within one development,” explains Katarzyna Myjak, Senior
Business Developer at CTP Poland.
“Our business is primarily driven by customer focus, flexibility
and mobility. We are aware of the challenges we face, which is why
we are striving to improve our offering by, among other things,
introducing the automated warehouse system WMS Softsol Anteo, or
focusing on digitalisation through EDI message exchange with our
customers. Security and the use of AI solutions in logistics is
also an important aspect for us. When deciding to choose CTP Warsaw
North, we were primarily guided by its great location, which
corresponds perfectly to the location of our key customers and
allows for SDD deliveries. In addition, the developer's
well-established position on the market, the facility's smart
features, as well as the use of environmentally friendly
technologies and the certifications that CTP holds were important
determinants in our choice. The size of the facility, allowing us
to pursue our expansion strategy in the coming years, also had a
huge influence on the decision,” says Rafał Kopański, CEO
of Trako Team.
“CTP's portfolio is diverse and we are ready to meet the
requirements of various customers. One of the key parameters
determining the choice of a warehouse facility by companies from
the logistics sector is location, which is why we develop our
projects in strategic places in Poland. We currently have over
560,000 sqm of business parks under construction in various regions
of the country. Our flexible approach, resulting from the fact that
we are both the developer and the owner of the investment, as well
as the experience and quality of the technical implementation and
CTP's financial security as a long-term partner, are important
competitive advantages on the market,” adds Piotr Flugel,
Managing Director at CTP Poland.
