midocean has opened a logistics and printing center at Panattoni Park Ruda Śląska III

Panattoni, the market leader in industrial real estate in Europe, has completed another project with an international reach. On Friday, September 9, the grand opening of midocean's main logistics and printing center in Europe took place. The company has occupied 40,500 sq m within Panattoni Park Ruda Śląska III, from where it will serve markets across almost all of Europe.

From Upper Silesia to all of Europe. Panattoni has delivered a total of approx. 2 million sq m of industrial space in Upper Silesia, repeatedly confirming the region's international potential. This time, the developer completed an investment for midocean - a leading European wholesaler of personalized promotional items and textiles. The company will use the space within Panattoni Park Ruda Śląska III, with 36,300 sq m dedicated to production and warehousing processes. The opening of the new facility took place on September 9, and attendees included Jacek Morek – Acting Mayor of the city of Ruda Śląska, Agnieszka Kubica - Investor Service Team Coordinator at the City Hall, Maciej Pachacz – Regional Project Management Associate Director, Panattoni, Marcin Pękala – Property Manager, Panattoni, Stephen Gibson  - CEO of midocean, Mohammed Mohammed – midocean Logistics Poland Sp. z o.o., General Manager.

As a specialist in many categories and a full-service provider of hard goods and textiles, midocean makes promotional items an extremely cost-effective, sustainable, and fastest-available marketing tool. The new facility, which is the most automated and technically advanced warehouse and printing house on the market, will consolidate midocean's current operations in the region. It will provide jobs for approximately 1,000 people. The appropriate functional layout of the production space will contribute to the optimization of both printing and logistics processes.

- Entrusting us with the realization of midocean's main logistics and printing center in Europe was proof of the immense trust the company placed in us. The technological infrastructure was prepared very efficiently, which made it possible to relocate the machinery park without disrupting deliveries to the company's customers. This is another efficient relocation supported by Panattoni, which is becoming a guarantor of process continuity. Furthermore, we are delivering a sustainable facility with numerous solutions for employees, in an excellent location that ensures efficient connections with, among others, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, or Germany. – says Marek Dobrzycki, Managing Director at Panattoni.

- The new facility allows midocean to maintain a high level of service for its customers. To maintain the highest delivery speed, we have also installed many new, custom-built, and state-of-the-art printing machines tailored to our requirements. We will continue to develop in this area so that our capabilities grow along with the market. We are confident that this new location further strengthens our business continuity and future growth, and contributes to the realization of our sustainability goals – says Stephen Gibson, Business Development Director, midocean.

Ecologically and for employees. Within Panattoni Park Ruda Śląska III, midocean will benefit from, among other things, a photovoltaic installation, a recuperation system, as well as electric car charging stations. Furthermore, a modern canteen, an outdoor garden, and a lighted shelter for bicycles and motorcycles have been created for employees. The company also provides bus transport from nearby towns. The project is located a short distance from the A1 (14 km) and A4 (5 km) motorways, which will allow for efficient domestic and international transport.
