10,700 sqm for Johnson Electric in Czeladź

Panattoni Europe, industrial space market leader, has embarked on the final stage in the build-out of Panattoni Park Czeladź. The new project is a 10,700-square-metre facility which will be occupied by a company from the electrotechnical sector, Johnson Electric. The transaction was mediated by Jones Lang LaSalle.

Panattoni Europe has commenced the final stage in the build-out of Panattoni Park Czeladź. The new 10,700-square-metre facility will be leased by Johnson Electric Poland, part of a transnational Group from the electrotechnical engineering sector, a leading provider of components for automotive applications, household appliances, industrial and medical automation systems. The investment will consist of industrial space (8,100 sqm) as well as office and staff facilities (2,600 sqm), and will house production and assembly lines moved from the Group's other plants. The transaction was mediated by Jones Lang LaSalle.  

"Johnson Electric was looking for a reliable partner, who would be able to build a manufacturing facility of this kind within a set timeframe, i.e. by the end of the first quarter of 2013. Our customer made it clear that the potential location had to be near the existing factory in Dąbrowa Górnicza - says Wojciech Zoń, Senior Consultant at Industrial and Warehouse Space Department, Jones Lang LaSalle, describing cooperation with Johnson Electric - The reason for this was to enable as many employees as possible to move to the new location. From this point of view, it was also important that the planned factory should have good transport connections with the city. We chose Panattoni Park Czeladź, because in our opinion it perfectly matched the expectations of Johnson Electric".

Panattoni Park Czeladź is a modern manufacturing and distribution centre in the heart of the Silesian conurbation, which at present contains two facilities with a total space of 36,000 sqm. In the course of the expansion, the third and final building will be erected. As a result, at full build-out Panattoni Park Czeladź will offer a total of 46,700 sqm of modern industrial space. The park lies to the east of Czeladź, directly upon the national road no 86 from Warsaw to Cieszyn, near the junction with road no 88 from Bytom to Olkusz. The complex is situated in the vicinity of the junction linking the A4 motorway with the S1 expressway. It is as little as 30 km from Pyrzowice Airport.

The Upper Silesian region is one of the key strategic logistics centres in Poland and the CEE region. It is known for its good infrastructure, excellently connected with the Pan-European transportation network, as well as a vast consumer market and a qualified labour pool. Panattoni Europe has as many as 5 modern warehouse parks in Upper Silesia: in Bielsko-Biała, Czeladź, Mysłowice and two logistics and warehousing centres in Gliwice which, when the ongoing and planned investments are completed, will offer 512,660 sqm of modern warehouse space.
