Commercial real estate developer 7R is developing a logistics centre for Pepco in Barniewice, near Gdańsk.
Under a long-term agreement, Pepco Polska has leased more than 51,000m² (c. 548,959ft²) of functional warehouse space together with office facilities in the project.
Pepco is a European discount retailer operating in more than 4,100 locations across 18 European markets and is Pepco Group.
Pepco uses intermodal transport in its logistics operations, with the company’s products transported primarily via road and sea routes.
This enables the optimisation of direct deliveries from distribution centres to stores in the so-called last mile. Until now, Pepco has operated five distribution centres across Europe.
Pepco global sourcing and supply chain director, Javier Rubio Fueyo, said: “This investment marks the development of Pepco’s sixth distribution centre and represents another important step in building a more scalable and resilient logistics network.
“The new distribution centre near Gdańsk will strengthen our logistics capabilities in a strategically important part of Europe, enhance the reliability and flexibility of our supply chain, and provide a solid platform for further growth.”
