Atlas Copco adds new manufacturing base in Lower Silesia

Atlas Copco is expanding its operations in Poland with a new production and service facility in Okmiany, Lower Silesia, where Panattoni has started construction of a building designed specifically for the industrial group. The project will provide almost 5,600 sqm of space, with operations scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2027.

The development will bring several functions under one roof, including manufacturing, storage, offices and employee facilities. A dedicated section will be used for servicing and repairing equipment. The building is being configured around Atlas Copco’s technical and operational requirements rather than as a standard warehouse development.

Atlas Copco supplies technologies for compressed air, vacuum applications, industrial tools and manufacturing processes. The company says the Okmiany investment forms part of its longer-term expansion in Poland and will increase its production and servicing capabilities. Its existing Polish operations include a headquarters in Warsaw.

The project also adds to the concentration of manufacturing and logistics investment in Lower Silesia. The region’s motorway network and access to Germany and Czechia have supported its development as a major industrial location, attracting occupiers serving both the Polish market and wider European supply chains.

Panattoni has built a substantial presence in the region, with earlier company figures putting its completed Lower Silesian portfolio at around 2.5 million sqm. Its developments have accommodated logistics, e-commerce and manufacturing businesses, including large-scale facilities around Wrocław.

The Atlas Copco project reflects continued demand for facilities designed around individual manufacturing processes rather than conventional distribution requirements. Such investments are increasingly important to Poland’s industrial property market as developers seek to capture manufacturing and supply-chain projects requiring more specialised buildings and longer-term commitments from occupiers.
