Panattoni Europe announced a new warehouse and manufacturing project which provides for the construction of a hydraulic components factory for Voss Fluid featuring in excess of 10,000 sqm. The investment is situated at the Legnica Special Economic Zone (LSSE) and uses the BTO (build-to-own) formula. The transaction was mediated by JLL. Completion of construction works is anticipated in March 2019.
German company Voss Fluid is a provider of hydraulic coupling technologies and system partner in international mechanical engineering. The 10,555-square-metre project will be built on a 3.2-hectare site in Nowa Wieś Legnicka, at the Legnica Special Economic Zone (LSSE). The project provides for future expansion of the factory. For now, the production hall will take up approx. 7,700 sqm and will be adapted to the company’s process installations, including compressed air and power supply. Moreover, the hall will have enhanced LED lighting up to 500 lux. Because of the planned installation of automated racking in the 1,500-square-metre warehouse section, Panattoni Europe will make sure flooring meets appropriate parameters in terms of loading capacity, flatness and thickness. The office section with staff facilities will take up approx. 1,200 sqm, which means that as many as 150 new jobs can be created in the new factory at full build-out.
The factory will be built in the vicinity of Voss Fluid’s sister company Voss Automotive, which has been in operation for nearly 15 years and is an important and steadily-growing investor in the region.
BTO projects are implemented for clients who have personalised needs, as e.g. in the case of manufacturing facilities, whereas projects built for the client to own are one of the options available in the developer’s extensive product range. Recent projects implemented in the BTO formula include the savoury snacks factory for Intersnack Poland, currently under construction, as well as completed projects: a silicate board factory for the Danish company Skamol A/S and the Bombardier Transportation factory making modern body shells for passenger trains.
