Industrial developer Panattoni has delivered more than two million square metres of logistics and production space in the Czech Republic since entering the market in 2007. The milestone was reached following the completion of a 214,000 sq m facility at Panattoni Business Park Cheb, handed over to its tenant in February 2026.
Over nearly two decades of activity in Czechia, the company has developed facilities for a range of international manufacturers and logistics operators, including Amazon, Tchibo, KION, WITTE Automotive, ZF Automotive, Shape Corp., Jungheinrich and Steelcase.
According to the company’s Czech and Slovak management, the projects have contributed to public finances through tax revenues generated over the lifetime of the properties. Panattoni states that its developments are designed to support long-term business operations and attract advanced manufacturing and logistics activities to the country.
Among the largest schemes delivered are Amazon facilities in Dobrovíz and Kojetín. The Kojetín distribution centre spans 187,000 sq m across four floors. The building includes a rooftop photovoltaic installation designed to supply a significant share of its energy consumption.
Other notable projects include Panattoni Business Park Pilsen West II, which accommodates manufacturing operations for Panasonic and Shape Corp., and facilities in Ostrov used by companies such as WITTE Automotive and ZF Automotive.
Sustainability features prominently in the developer’s Czech portfolio. Approximately 1.4 million sq m of its buildings have received certification under the BREEAM New Construction standard. The company states that all new projects are targeting high certification levels. Selected projects in Cheb South, including facilities for AUTODOC and Kaufland’s e-commerce operations, achieved high sustainability ratings at the time of their completion.
At the end of last year, Panattoni also delivered what it describes as its first net-zero operational building in Czechia, developed for ZF Automotive, with operational emissions offset and construction-related carbon emissions addressed.
In addition to new developments, the company reports that it has regenerated around 1.1 million sq m of brownfield land. One of the largest redevelopment projects involved the former Škoda Ostrov industrial site, now transformed into Panattoni Business Park Ostrov North. The developer is also active on the site of the former Poldi Kladno steelworks.
Panattoni’s activity reflects continued demand for industrial and logistics space in Czechia, alongside increasing emphasis on redevelopment of previously used industrial land and environmental performance standards.
