Panattoni has completed another built-to-suit (BTS) project for Maxcess, a US manufacturer of production line components. The new facility, now Maxcess’s main European manufacturing plant, is located in Fałkowo, Poland, following an investment of PLN 60 million. This investment will allow Maxcess to double its current workforce.
Maxcess has operated in Poland since 2006, initially running a 6,000-square-meter plant in Bugaj, near Poznań, with a staff of 160. The new plant, also located near Poznań, enables the company to retain its experienced team. The new facility, which opened in early July, spans 13,500 square meters, more than double the space of the former plant, and was built to meet the company’s specific needs.
“We feel immense satisfaction because the Maxcess factory is a complex construction that exactly meets the innovative vision of our client. It was built in an extremely short time, with just seven months between the start of construction and the building’s handover. To optimize production, the building is equipped with overhead cranes, busbar electrification, compressed air piping, gas channelling, and hi-tech water installations. This advanced project was completed quickly thanks to the partnership approach of both the tenant and local authorities,” said Maciej Zawada, BTS Development Director at Panattoni.
“Panattoni BTS was quick and meticulous in developing a tailor-made center for us, with optimal technology planned from the design stage. This has provided the best possible working conditions for over 40 production machines. After an intense construction period, it took us just three weeks to relocate and open our new factory. Our primary goal was to ensure our customers did not notice any disruption in deliveries,” said Paweł Kasprzak, Operations Director of Maxcess in Poland. “This is one of our company’s four largest factories and the main Maxcess production center in Europe, supplying all of Europe with 10% of its production destined for export beyond the continent. Now we can plan further growth and extend the factory by an additional 30-35% in the future.”
