Rohlig Suus Logistics focuses on international development

The Polish logistics operator is opening its first warehouse in the Czech Republic in the fourth quarter of this year. Demand for comprehensive logistics services is growing in the Czech market, which is why the company chose the south-eastern part of the country for its new location. Brno is the fifth branch of Rohlig Suus Logistics in the Czech Republic.

Rohlig Suus Logistics is a comprehensive logistics operator that emphasizes diversification and the development of international business in its strategy. One of the Group's leading foreign businesses is its Czech subsidiary, which recorded a 56% increase in sales last year. Its scope of services includes road, air, sea, rail, and 4PL transport. The new investment will allow the company to expand its portfolio to include comprehensive contract logistics services, including, for example, for e-commerce clients – fulfillment, Value Added Services, handling of groupage shipments, and distribution of shipments to the Czech Republic and neighboring countries.

– The position of the Czech Republic as an important logistics hub is constantly growing. The Czech Republic is also Poland's second key partner in terms of exports and trade turnover. The branch in Brno will increase our operational capabilities and allow us to expand the scope of services, which will in the future contribute to the significant development of our international and domestic groupage transport network and contract logistics in this region – said Jiri Chladek, Managing Director of Rohlig Suus Logistics for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The company has been present on the Czech market since 2018. The new branch will be located in GLP Park Brno Holubice. Brno is characterized by its strategic location – it is a large local business center, perfectly connected with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Austria. The facility will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2022. The warehouse area of Rohlig Suus Logistics will amount to over 8,000 m2.

Each of the new Rohlig Suus Logistics warehouse facilities meets the highest environmental protection standards and is BREEAM certified. Photovoltaic panels have been installed on the roofs of the warehouse in Brno, and a special rainwater collection system will allow for its reuse, among other things, for maintaining the greenery surrounding the facility. Electric car chargers will be available on the premises. Additionally, the company will introduce forklifts with lithium-ion batteries instead of lead-acid ones, which significantly increases safety for employees and the environment.

The facility in Brno will create new jobs for approximately 30 employees.
