PGC Polska Grupa Ceramiczna is Poland’s largest purchasing group in the bathroom fittings sector, bringing together 16 leading companies from the ceramic tiles, sanitary ware and fittings industries. PGC works with over 40 global suppliers, creates its own brands and develops sales in the wholesale, export and DIY markets. City Logistics Łódź V will serve as the tenant’s central warehouse for the domestic market, as well as the company’s headquarters. The facility will employ around 70 people.

A strategic logistics location, enhancing operational efficiency and supporting the further growth of PGC Polska Grupa Ceramiczna

“Cooperation with Panattoni is a natural step for us in the further development of our business and the creation of an effective logistics base. The location of the development in the Widzew district of Łódź ensures excellent accessibility both for our staff, thanks to the well-developed public transport infrastructure, and for our logistics operations – situated close to major transport routes, including motorways. A key advantage of the park is also the ability to implement bespoke solutions, such as a storage yard tailored to the specific nature of our business. “As a group, we have been developing the distribution of products from leading global manufacturers for years through a network of several dozen showrooms, and the new headquarters will allow us to manage logistics even more effectively and expand our offering for our customers,” says Seweryn Kartkowski, CEO of PGC Polska Grupa Ceramiczna.

“The starting point was the consolidation of existing operations and the creation of a space enabling the client’s further development. It was crucial to keep operations within the city’s administrative boundaries to avoid disrupting existing staff. At the same time, we analysed solutions to optimise the warehouse layout, and the availability of a storage yard was an additional advantage of the chosen location. Ultimately, the client gained not only the opportunity to streamline its logistics processes, but also to raise the standard of its office space and relocate its headquarters to a more modern facility”, comments Hubert Wojtera, Director of Industrial & Logistics, AXI IMMO.

“The start of construction on City Logistics Łódź V is an important milestone for the development of modern urban logistics in Łódź. The project is being built on the site of the former ABB factory, breathing new life into the post-industrial space and enhancing the location’s appeal to businesses,” says Marek Dobrzycki, Partner at Panattoni. “The signing of another agreement with PGC Polska Grupa Ceramiczna confirms the trust our partners place in us and is the result of long-term, consistently developed cooperation. We are delighted to be able to support our client’s growth by providing solutions tailored to their operational needs.”

The facility will be adapted to the specific nature of the business – some products will be stored on specialised racking designed for large-scale goods. The development will also include a showroom for presenting the range to business clients. The developer will also provide a 2,000 sqm storage yard and 900 sqm of modern, high-standard office space. PGC Polska Grupa Ceramiczna will commence operations at the facility in the first quarter of 2027 and reach full operational capacity in the second quarter.

Investment located close to Łódź city centre

City Logistics Łódź V is a modern Class A facility located on Lodowa Street, approximately 10 km from the centre of Łódź. Its location in Widzew ensures excellent accessibility for employees thanks to a well-developed public transport infrastructure, as well as favourable conditions for logistics operations – close to major transport routes, including the A1 (9 km) and A2 motorways and the S14 route (16 km). The proximity of Łódź Airport (12 km) further enhances access to domestic and international connections. The park has been designed with tenants from various sectors in mind – flexible modules allow the space to be adapted to diverse operational needs.

The development will undergo BREEAM environmental certification at the Excellent level. Solutions to reduce energy and water consumption and support sustainable development will be implemented in the development.
