Rossmann, in cooperation with the developer CTP, has started the construction of the new logistics centre of CTPark Prague North in Úžice near Prague, as the largest facility for drugstore distribution in the Czech Republic.
The centre, with an area exceeding 30,000 sqm, will be fully utilised from 2027. It will offer new technological solutions that will enable effective inventory management or faster service of the e-shop. The project also includes the introduction of artificial intelligence for inventory prediction. A fundamental change will also be the shortening of the distance that employees walk per shift when assembling goods from the original 12 km to approx. 2 km.
For Rossmann, the project represents a one-time investment of more than CZK 500 million (€20.6 million) in the technology and equipment of the new warehouse, the largest in the entire period of its operation on the Czech market. As part of the European Rossmann group, a similarly extensive project is also currently being completed in Hungary.
"The choice of location plays a decisive role in the construction of a logistics centre," says Jakub Kodr, Executive Director at CTP for the Czech Republic. "CTPark Prague North offers a combination of strategic transport connections to Prague and Germany, a range of spatial solutions and quality facilities for the people who work here. We appreciate that Rossmann has chosen this particular location and we believe that the new distribution centre will become a key pillar of its further expansion in the Czech Republic."
The mediation of the transaction was covered by the Cushman & Wakefield office.
