Hellmann Worldwide Logistics Polska is expanding its operations in the Poznań region with a new facility at MLP Poznań, where the logistics company has agreed to lease 5,350 sqm of warehouse and office space.
The premises are scheduled to become operational during the first quarter of 2027. Around 500 sqm will be allocated to offices and employee facilities, while approximately 4,850 sqm will support warehouse operations.
The move is being driven by the expansion of Hellmann’s business and the need for additional operational capacity. BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland, which advised the tenant during the leasing process, said the company’s existing premises were no longer sufficient for its requirements.
The transaction adds another logistics occupier to MLP Poznań and demonstrates continued demand for facilities positioned around the main transport corridors serving western Poland. Poznań is an important distribution location because of its connections between Warsaw and the German border, as well as routes linking western Poland with the country’s southern industrial markets.
MLP Poznań is located in Koninko, approximately 16 km from central Poznań. The development sits alongside the S11 expressway and around four kilometres from the A2 motorway, providing access to domestic distribution routes as well as international connections towards Germany and other European markets.
The park is being developed across 19.2 hectares and is planned to provide approximately 90,000 sqm of warehouse and production accommodation when completed. Its buildings are subject to BREEAM certification as part of MLP Group’s environmental standards for the development.
For Hellmann, the new location provides additional capacity for its domestic and international logistics activities while keeping operations within the wider Poznań distribution market. The combination of warehouse and office accommodation also allows the company to consolidate operational and administrative functions within the same facility.
The lease comes as logistics operators continue to place significant emphasis on motorway accessibility and the ability to serve both Polish and cross-border markets from a single distribution location. Poznań’s proximity to Germany and position on the A2 corridor have made the region an established destination for logistics and industrial development.
Hellmann’s expansion provides another example of demand being generated by existing logistics businesses requiring additional capacity rather than solely by companies establishing their first Polish operations. For warehouse owners and developers, such expansion requirements remain an important source of leasing activity as occupiers reassess the size and efficiency of their distribution networks.
Construction of the dedicated facility is due to be completed in the first quarter of 2027, after which Hellmann is expected to begin operations at MLP Poznań.
