In response to the growing demand for sustainable logistics solutions, DHL Supply Chain is paving the way for development at its new zero-emissions warehouse in Teresin. Located 50 kilometres west of Warsaw, this innovative investment fits into the supply chain management leader's strategy and underlines the company's commitment to protecting the environment and promoting sustainability.
Strategically located in a logistics hub in the western suburbs of Warsaw, the Teresin warehouse has been designed to maximise environmental impact. The zero-emission facility, ultimately comprising three modules with over 90,000 sq m of modern warehouse space, has achieved BREEAM Excellent status. The first phase in Teresin saw the construction of Warehouse A with an area of 29,000 sq m, of which 8,500 sq m is dedicated to e-commerce sector companies.
- As a company, we know that there are no shortcuts to sustainable, efficient logistics that are in harmony with the environment. It is facilities such as the one in Teresina that are the future of warehouse logistics, providing much more than just space for storage and various operations. A cornerstone in our philosophy is to support the business of our tenants and helping them to develop further through access to the latest solutions and innovations. "Importantly, we are creating a large part of them from scratch," emphasises Anna Galas, Business Development Director, DHL Supply Chain.
The list of tenants at the Teresin warehouse already includes companies from such sectors as retail, FMCG, clothing, tobacco and construction. Part of the space is occupied by companies from the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. They benefit from the adaptation of the facilities (e.g. cold chain) to the strict safety and compliance requirements regulated by law and good practice, as well as the experience of the staff in handling logistics processes for pharmaceuticals.
The advantage of the facility's location in Teresin, apart from its proximity to Warsaw and good access to the nearby DK92 and A2 motorways, is the large staff potential and availability of qualified employees. In addition, during the high season, DHL Supply Chain can manage its human resources more efficiently in Teresin, relying on employees from 3 other logistics centres located in Łódź.
