DB Schenker provides a wide range of land, air and ocean transportation services, along with comprehensive contract logistics and global supply chain management solutions. The company is present in 130 countries, including in Poland, where it boasts a robust logistics network comprising 18 transloading terminals, 15 logistics warehouses, three air freight offices, two ocean freight offices and a central customs agency. In Hillwood Rawicz, DB Schenker has leased nearly 16,800 sqm of warehouse space and approximately 340 sqm of office space. The company is set to open its 16th warehouse location there soon.
“Contract logistics is a very important and rapidly expanding business division for DB Schenker. The Rawicz warehouse is one of several locations we have opened in recent years. It was specifically designed to cater to the logistics needs of an optical product manufacturer and can accommodate over 30,000 SKUs. From this facility, products will be shipped to customers worldwide. The high standard, infrastructure and location of the warehouse were key factors in selecting this site,” says Dariusz Doroś, Head of Contract Logistics, North East Europe, DB Schenker.
“This transaction reaffirms that leading warehouse tenants, including major logistics providers, are increasingly targeting smaller locations, outside the Big Five markets. This shift highlights the maturity of the Polish industrial market, encouraging companies to explore new directions for expansion. However, fundamental to the success of secondary locations is a strong local labour market and robust infrastructure, including access to transportation routes,” explains Łukasz Osiewacz, Negotiator, Industrial and Logistics Agency, Cushman & Wakefield.
“One of the key factors impacting tenants’ choice of warehouse projects is labour availability allowing for efficient recruitment and a swift start of operations. Equally important is the high standard of a facility. Modern warehouses not only support the achievement of ambitious ESG goals but are also important to the clients of companies leasing such facilities,” adds Kamil Żach, Key Account Executive, Industrial and Logistics Agency, Cushman & Wakefield.
