New Raben Group Warehouse in Gądki

After expansion, Raben Logistics Polska has over 120,000 m² of warehouse capacity in Gądki and offers its customers more than 160,000 pallets places.

"The new investment is the consequence of extended cooperation with one of our key customers, Bolsius International B.V. , and the response to their new expectations. Thanks to this, the existing warehouse capacity of Raben Group in Gądki will grow by over 20%. – explains Wojciech Szafran, Area Director of Raben Logistics Polska, and he adds – "We decided jointly to locate Warehouse no. 10 in the area of Poznań because Wielkopolska is still an interesting alternative for warehouses which ship goods to Western European markets."
