Poland From Warsaw into the world
Warehouse & industrialTrumpf Huettinger, which specialises in the design and manufacture of industrial electronics, is opening its seventh building at its fourth location in the Warsaw metropolitan area. The company has leased 21,000 sqm of production and warehouse space and a 4,300 sqm office module in Kobyłka - which is 80 pct of the first phase of CTPark Warsaw East. The lease transaction was brokered by Colliers.
Trumpf Huettinger will occupy the new space later in 2023. The decision to open a new plant in Poland is a result of, among other things, the company's growing business in the markets it currently serves, mainly semiconductors and photovoltaics. In Kobyłka, Trumpf Huettinger will manufacture control systems for the entire Trumpf group and control cabinets for the semiconductor industry for its customers. Their distribution, under the world factory model, will cover the entire world.
We are constantly winning new orders and forecast that demand for our products will increase in the coming years. In order to meet growing demand, we are increasing employment and acquiring new production and warehouse space in and around Warsaw. The capital is an excellent location for us due to the large number of candidates for high-tech jobs.
Paweł Ozimek, President of Trumpf Huettinger in Poland
The company plans to exceed 3,000 employees over the next five years, which would represent an increase of more than 100 pct. By the end of 2023 alone, Trumpf Huettinger wants to hire 600 new employees in a variety of specialisations - from manufacturing to IT to research and development. By June 2024, the count of new FTEs could approach 1,000. In 2022, the company announced plans to build a new factory in Warsaw's Białołęka district; the company has also leased 22,400 sqm at Panattoni Park City Logistics Warsaw IV in Annopol.
The production and warehouse centre, which Trumpf Huettinger will soon move into, is located just off the S8 road. Phase I of the project includes the installation of LED lighting, heat and ventilation control technologies, and the roofs will be fitted with a photovoltaic installation. The facility is also ready to be hooked up to full automation of internal and external systems.
Today, we are not just talking about warehouses and the consolidation of goods, but comprehensive business parks that fulfil corporate, environmental and social functions. Our investment programme in Poland, which includes EUR 300 mln for the purchase of plots of land and the launch of new projects, focuses on the areas that our customers need - providing the infrastructure for sustainable growth and the development of the service sector. For the past two years, we have been growing together with our customers. It is for them that we supplement our investments with new formats responding to the challenges of the labour market - the CTPark Warsaw West complex, also located in the vicinity of Warsaw, will be the first facility in the country with a common space module for the use of all tenants, including a medical point, restaurant, coffee point, conference rooms, coworking spaces, etc., called Clubhaus.
