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.

In addition, it will be an important benefit from the point of view of ergonomics and work organization - emphasizes Krzysztof Falkowski, president of the board of Poczta Polska.
In May this year, Poczta Polska and Panattoni signed a contract for renting over 50,000 m 2 operating and logistics space. The general contractor of the complex is Harden. The investment will consist of 2 facilities for the function 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 those broadcast by mass customers.
- We are very happy that in the implementation of its strategic project Poczta Polska has once again trusted Panattoni. We have already delivered space in Kalisz and Bialystok, and now it's time for a key location in the vicinity of the capital. The tenant strives to maintain a competitive position on the e-commerce market, and we are a proven partner for the industry. Only in Poland we have already completed over 4 million sq m of area intended for online sales. This is a great experience that pays off with new investments - says Marek Dobrzycki, Managing Director in Panattoni.
These facilities will include the Cross Dock storage hall with an area of over 12 thousand. m 2 and a warehouse and operational hall with an area of over 26 thousand. m 2 . 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.
At the same time, the proceedings were launched for the selection of a sorter contractor for the hall being built. The machine, which is purchased by the Polish Post, will be the largest and most modern sorter so far, used for the automatic chapter of courier parcels. The machine will be made in "cross-bolt" technology. The sorter equipped with over 300 slides (directional, vertical) will allow a dynamic distribution of shipments to the level of sending points and delivery regions. The high -performance device, according to the assumptions, sorts up to 15,000 shipments per hour. Thanks to high work automation, the efficiency of shipping segregation will increase significantly, which will translate into the timeliness of the services rendered.
- Automation of Poczta Polska is gaining more and more pace. Investments in a modern machine park will enable more effective competing on a demanding courier market. Thanks to the projects we implement, the scope of work automation will increase, and thus, it will translate into the possibility of much faster development of sent shipments. Both customers, expecting the highest quality of our services, and employees, who have been performing many activities manually - says Andrzej Bodziony, vice president of the Poczta Poczta Board.
As part of the design of the Logistics Architecture project in 2023, the next new sorters will start working in the halls in Wrocław, Lisim Tail near Bydgoszcz and Lublin.
