Strategic location for e-commerce Selsey

The Polish company Selsey, dealing in the Internet sales of furniture and decorative articles, gains an excellent location – in the center of Europe and close to the southern and western borders of Poland. This will support online sales in 10 European markets in which Selsey operates – including Germany, Romania, Belgium and Italy.

“We needed modern warehouse space to upgrade our existing infrastructure and logistics operations,” explains Mirosław Mikołajczak, the CEO of Selsey.pl. “We have been expanding rapidly and so our cooperation with Panattoni is a response not only to our needs but also to our customers’ expectations. We believe that thanks to this we will be able to speed up the processing of our orders significantly and also have space for the development of new product categories, such as garden and smaller products, which we are currently investing in,” he adds.

The company has leased 11,500 sqm in the park in Wrocław, of which 10,971 sqm will be warehouse space and around 500 sqm will be offices. The need for the modern facility arose due to the company’s rapid development – Selsey has been growing by 50% each year. The company is now included in the Financial Times 1000: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies 2020 ranking, where it is listed in 23rd place among e-commerce companies. It was Panattoni’s online retail experience that clinched the deal for Selsey, which will be operating on space with such environmental features as LED lighting and electric car charging stations. The facility, which was completed in the fourth quarter of this year, was built in line with BREEAM ‘Very Good’ certification.
