We opened the second Warsaw sorting room for more efficient shipment service
One of the most important investments of Poczta Polska becomes a fact. The National Postal Operator is growing in strength. The company and Panattoni have signed a contract for renting over 50,000 m2 operating and logistics space. Warsaw II is a complex of buildings that the company intends to acquire as part of the implementation of the strategic design of the logistics network architecture. The purpose of the investment is to optimize logistics processes, which will translate into an increase in timeliness, capacity and quality of services rendered. The halls will be ready at the end of 2023.
Poczta Polska undertakes a number of actions aimed at modernizing the current logistics network and its coloring, which in the next few years will allow the Company to achieve goals that are one of the pillars of the strategy, including further development of business in the areas of KEP (courier, parcel, express), e-commerce and logistics services.
From a market point of view and the possibility of gaining a competitive advantage, it is very important to have a properly planned network of connections, optimally located halls adapted to local needs and their equipment with modern sorters designed for automatic shipment development.
The agreement between the Polish Post and Panattoni was signed as a result of the tender procedure for a period of 20 years. The developer of warehouse and industrial areas, according to the Polish Poczta, will soon begin design and then construction works, covering the creation of two separate buildings, connected with accompanying facilities and a communication network.
-The goal of Poczta Polska is to maintain a competitive position on the dynamically changing e-commerce services market. Acquiring a new logistics facility directly in Warsaw will allow support for the growing volume of parcel and pallet shipments and automation of logistics processes. An increase in the performance of the logistics network will improve the standards of services rendered, and in particular their timeliness - emphasizes Tomasz Zdzikot, president of the board of Poczta Polska.
The investment will be built in the area of Warsaw and will consist of 2 facilities, intended for the functions of the distribution node for servicing parcel and pallet shipments, coming from other distribution nodes in the country and from its own area of operation, including mass customers. These facilities will include the Cross Dock storage hall with an area of over 12 thousand. m2 and a warehouse and operational hall with an area of over 26 thousand. m2. In addition, zones with support and technical facilities will be located. The complement of the functionality of the facility assumed by the Polish Post Office will be secured by over 400 parking spaces located in the immediate vicinity of operating halls and at the entrance to the object.
- Improving infrastructure conditions will allow the introduction of a new standard for the development of KEP shipments, which will significantly increase the potential of the Warsaw sorting plant and will translate into an increase in the efficiency of the entire logistics network of Poczta Polska. The launch of a new location will allow optimization of shipping costs, in addition, it will be an important benefit from the point of view of ergonomics and work organization - says Andrzej Bodziony, vice president of the board of Poczta Polska.
According to the adopted investment implementation schedule, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the contractor will transfer the Polish Post Office to use an object with an area of over 50,000. m2. At the same time, this year's launch of proceedings for the coloring of the new hall was planned.
The logistics network of Poczta Polska includes 14 regional sorting plants and 13 local sorting plants, which, in combination with a network of 7,600 post offices, constitute infrastructure facilities for the development of logistics.
