Poland Panattoni launches a BTS factory

The 23,000 sqm plant is the company’s first manufacturing facility in Poland. It also marks a major step in the company’s expansion into Central and Eastern Europe. Trilux took the decision to build a factory in Świdnik so that it could meet the rising demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly LED lighting solutions. The factory – which is capable of manufacturing up to a million light fittings annually – will increase the company’s production capacity, shorten its supply chains, and provide better service to customers in the region. With its in-house metal and plastics processing, a new powder coating plant and flexible assembly stations, Trilux can quickly meet individual customer orders.

Spanning more than 3,000 sqm, it includes offices, conference rooms, rest areas and focus rooms. Trilux’s intelligent human centric lighting (HCL) and a colour scheme has been utilized to improve productivity as well as workers’ sense of wellbeing. Additionally, a canteen provides a place for relaxation and social interaction.

The factory in Świdnik is to be certified under BREEAM for a rating of Excellent. The roof of the building has been reinforced for the installation of solar panelling while energy- and water-saving solutions reduce the plant’s operating costs. Electric vehicle charging stations have appeared on site as well as native shrubbery, a flower meadow and insect hotels to enhance local biodiversity.
