The logistics hub at SEGRO Logistics Park Strykow is DPD Poland’s fourth sorting facility. Its 18,000 sqm of space consists of 16,300 sqm of warehouse and 1,700 sqm of offices and social areas. One of the hallmarks of the facility is a gantry equipped with tablets through which TIR drivers can register their entries and exits helping improve efficiency of operations. In addition, due to DPD’s needs at this location, the warehouse space has been equipped with a two-level loop sorter, which significantly improves the process of picking and segregating parcels.
Maksymilian Pawłowski, Head of Corporate Communications, DPD Polska, said:
“A new nationwide sorting facility has been established at SEGRO Logistics Park Strykow to handle general cargo shipments destined for DPD’s OOH Pickup network – that is, 32,000 points and parcel machines. Ultimately, we plan to employ between 320 and 350 people there. We are pleased that our new employees will be able to use the chill-out zones prepared by SEGRO and the fact that the facility provides a comfortable working environment and biodiversity around the site.”
In addition to the chill-out zones, an outdoor chess table has been created around the building. The surroundings have been enhanced with eight beehives, hotels for pollinating insects and nesting boxes for birds. The facility benefits from 50 kW photovoltaic panels, which will help DPD to reduce its energy costs and carbon footprint. At the same time, SEGRO provides energy exclusively from wind and solar to customers in all its parks in Poland. The investment is part of the company’s long-term commitment to support low-carbon development.
Bartosz Michalski, Director, Logistics, Poland, SEGRO, explains:
“The new building for DPD at SEGRO Logistics Park Strykow is first and foremost an eco-friendly space. It has a BREEAM certificate at the Excellent level, in which the management of water, waste and energy, as well as the care for the well-being of the customer’s employees were particularly highly rated. Our latest project in Strykow sets market trends in Poland for green warehouse facilities.”
SEGRO Logistics Park Strykow is the flagship and largest park in SEGRO’s portfolio in Poland. Its current size is almost 320,000 sqm with the potential to expand and build more facilities with a total area of almost 44,000 sqm. The park’s location near the intersection of the A1 and A2 highways facilitates quick transportation in all directions, while its proximity to Łódź guarantees access to human resources and high-class specialists.
