“The food sector is a demanding industry that requires rigorous storage conditions based on the safety and reliability of the refrigeration and ventilation system, proper building construction and equipment, and the maintenance of sanitary and hygienic standards. Our main logistics center is located in Lublin. We also have five cross-dock warehouses in London, Manchester and Lincoln in England, Portadown in Northern Ireland and Zevenbergen in the Netherlands.7R,a company with experience and know-how in BTS construction, will provide us with comprehensive warehouse and office spaces that will be tailored to our needs,” – says Dariusz Jeleniewski, co-owner of Spiżarnia limited company, general partnership.

Food distribution is mainly determined by factors related to an efficient, sustainable, and uninterrupted cold chain. Here it is important to optimize the warehouse in terms of storage conditions and logistics operations.

Lublin is gaining in attractiveness

“Lublin is a prospective warehouse market whose importance in the coming years will increase. The expanded construction of a section of the Via Carpathia pan-European route in this part of Poland allows clients to build a competitive advantage by securing space early enough to make optimal distribution facilities. In addition, Lublin fits into the client’s strategy, who has extensive logistics operations in most European markets, allowing him to transport goods quickly” – says Wojciech Waryś, Associate Partner, AXI IMMO.

“When investing in Lublin, we knew it was a promising market. The contract for the BTS facility with Spiżarnia was signed even before the construction of the logistics park began. This shows how much confidence the tenant has in us. It also shows how good the location is for this type of project. When planning the warehouse for Spiżarnia, we focused on the optimal management of the facility. For our client’s needs we prepared three cold stores, with different temperature ranges,”- comments Maciej Krawiecki, Head of Leasing at 7R.
