PGD Sp. z o.o., a distributor of products for bakeries, confectioneries and ice-cream parlours, has decided to develop its business in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The tenant has occupied approx. 2,000 sqm. production and warehouse space with social facilities in the Waimea Airport Logistics Park Szczecin-Goleniów investment. AXI IMMO, the largest Polish advisory firm on the commercial real estate market, was the exclusive agent representing the tenant in negotiating and selecting a new location.
For more than 25 years, PGD has offered products and solutions for bakeries, confectioneries, and ice-cream parlours, as well as different needs, from artisanal to industrial production. PGD is present in 10 locations in Poland, and each point has its own commercial, warehouse and logistics facilities. It is also worth noting that PGD is part of the Orkla group, one of the largest Scandinavian concerns, offering over 70 recognized brands. It is an exporter to 35 countries on five continents.
Monika Pęksa, Director of Logistics and Administration at PGD, emphasizes: “After a meticulous analysis of our company’s requirements, we have strategically chosen to relocate our logistics operations to a state-of-the-art distribution centre, a mere 13 km from our previous site. The decision to settle near the Goleniów airport is a game-changer, significantly enhancing our operational capabilities and streamlining distribution processes. The new distribution centre not only promises substantial cost savings, but also provides us with the flexibility to expand and plan for future growth. This is a pivotal move in our growth strategy, empowering us to manage our logistics operations with greater efficiency and scalability.”
Wojciech Waryś, Associate Partner, Industrial & Logistics, AXI IMMO, explains: “Certainly, some of the key factors in choosing the West Pomeranian Voivodeship as a location for a logistics and warehouse base are the close border with Germany, access to the airport in Goleniów and convenient location near important transport routes. The road infrastructure in the region, especially the S3 and S6 expressways, guarantees efficient communication to the south and east of Poland. In addition, this location offers growth prospects and access to new markets, which could attract investors interested in expanding into this part of the country.”
Ultimately, PGD has occupied over 2,000 sq m. of warehouse space, which a 165-meter office will complement. The tenant moved into the new location at the end of April 2024.
Maciej Dziadosz, President of the Management Board and Director of Szczecin-Goleniów Airport, says: “We are very pleased with another tenant’s planned takeover of the cargo terminal space. We hope that along with the already started activities in improving the infrastructure, such as increasing the ILS category to cat. II, with the involvement of the European Commission’s funds from the CEF fund implemented by CINEA and the expansion of the passenger terminal, the Szczecin-Goleniów airport will become an even more attractive airport for further entrepreneurs. We hope all these factors will be a driving force for even more dynamic development of our airport and the entire West Pomeranian Voivodeship.”
