7R has signed a long-term lease agreement with Profile VOX for more than 20,000 sq m of warehouse and production space in Pobiedziska, near Poznań. The facility will be developed on a build-to-suit basis and will combine warehousing and production functions within a single hybrid layout.
The project is designed to meet specific technical requirements, including insulation and energy efficiency standards. The new site will strengthen VOX’s operational presence in one of Poland’s established industrial and logistics regions and reflects a growing focus on shortening supply chains by locating production closer to end markets.
“The agreement is another example of nearshoring, which is no longer seen as a theoretical trend, but is becoming a real phenomenon with a positive impact on the Polish market,” said Damian Kołata, Head of Commercial at 7R. “Decisions to combine production and logistics in one place are increasingly based on simple cost-benefit calculations. Shorter delivery times, greater predictability of lead times and better control over processes have real business value today, especially in an environment where demand for selected categories is growing rapidly.”
The facility will be located close to national road No. 5 (international route E-261) and will provide more than 20,000 sq m of space, including warehouse and production areas as well as two-storey office accommodation. In line with VOX’s sustainability objectives, the building will be equipped with heat pumps and a 350 kWp photovoltaic installation, with the option to expand capacity to 1,000 kWp.
According to the developer, the project will integrate production and logistics operations in a single location, supporting scale and operational resilience. The facility will incorporate modern production lines, a high level of automation and digitalisation, and solutions aligned with Industry 4.0. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) will form part of the internal logistics system to support material flows between processes.
“The decision to lease 20,000 sq m of space in a model integrating production and warehousing is a response to the company’s growing operational needs,” said Jarosław Raj, a member of the VOX management board. “The investment will shorten order fulfilment times, increase flexibility and improve the stability of the supply chain. At the same time, it represents the next stage in our company’s development—after a period of intensive expansion of the VOX brand on the Indian market, we are now focusing on strengthening our operational base in Europe, expanding our production capacity and modernising our infrastructure.”
Kołata added that demand for such integrated facilities remains strong. “Companies increasingly expect facilities that are not just warehouses or production halls, but that actually support the end-to-end process, which fits perfectly with our ‘Beyond Warehouse’ concept,” he said. “Pobiedziska combines proximity to Poznań, access to the labour market and a location favourable for distribution both within Poland and towards western markets.”
The transaction reflects broader trends in Poland’s warehouse and light manufacturing sector, where demand continues to grow beyond the largest urban markets. Over the past six years, Poland’s total warehouse stock has expanded to more than 36 million sq m, with occupiers placing greater emphasis not only on rental levels, but also on operational efficiency, automation potential, layout flexibility and total cost of ownership.
