P3 Logistic Parks is nearing completion of a 32,600 sqm built-to-suit manufacturing facility for South Korean automotive supplier SUNGWOO HITECH at P3 Ostrava Central, marking the park’s first development specifically designed for advanced industrial production.
The project supports SUNGWOO HITECH’s expansion as the company increases production capacity in response to new contracts and growing demand from the automotive sector. The new facility will manufacture pressed and welded steel components using automated production technologies and robotic systems.
SUNGWOO HITECH already operates in the Ostrava-Hrabová industrial zone and supplies body components to the automotive industry. The new development will enable the company to expand production while supporting future manufacturing programmes.
According to Marek Jaskula, Leasing Manager at P3 Logistic Parks, the project demonstrates the developer’s ability to deliver customised industrial facilities that meet complex manufacturing requirements rather than conventional warehouse specifications.
The building has been designed around the tenant’s production processes and incorporates several technical modifications. The central production hall has a clear internal height of up to 15 metres to accommodate 40-tonne overhead cranes, while floor load capacities have been increased to support heavy stamping and hot-forming equipment. Instead of conventional loading docks, the facility will feature ground-level high-speed drive-in doors and covered loading areas to improve material handling efficiency. Three cranes will be installed throughout the production hall.
The development will also include one of the largest rooftop photovoltaic installations within P3’s Czech portfolio, with a planned capacity of 2.9 MWp, supporting the company’s sustainability objectives.
The facility will provide approximately 29,855 sqm of production space together with 2,700 sqm of office and technical accommodation. Once fully operational, the plant is expected to employ between 60 and 80 people per shift, operating across three shifts.
Production will be introduced in two phases. The first phase, covering 13,755 sqm of manufacturing space, focuses on robotic welding and is currently undergoing equipment installation, with operations expected to commence during August. The second phase, comprising approximately 16,100 sqm, will accommodate hot stamping, pressing and material cutting operations, with installation scheduled to begin before the end of the year.
Jiří Sýkora, General Affairs Senior Manager at SUNGWOO HITECH, said the company selected P3 Ostrava Central because of the developer’s ability to accommodate its specialised technological and logistics requirements while providing capacity for future expansion.
The project further strengthens P3 Ostrava Central as a manufacturing location for automotive suppliers. The park recently welcomed SFI Europe, which established its first European production facility at the site for automotive fluid systems.
Developed on a regenerated brownfield site, P3 Ostrava Central has been designed with sustainability in mind. All buildings at the park have achieved BREEAM Excellent certification, while solar energy systems, landscaped green areas and public amenities, including bicycle facilities and outdoor fitness equipment, form part of the wider development.
The completion of the SUNGWOO HITECH facility reinforces the continued attractiveness of the Ostrava region for advanced manufacturing investment and highlights growing demand for highly customised industrial buildings capable of supporting increasingly automated production processes.
