Panattoni has completed a BTS development for an international client. A new factory was built in Świdnik for Trilux, the producer of professional lighting from Germany. The 23,000 sqm plant is the company’s first manufacturing facility in Poland.
Trilux took the decision to build a factory in Świdnik so that it could meet the rising demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly LED lighting solutions. The factory – which is capable of manufacturing up to a million light fittings annually - will not only increase the company’s production capacity but will also shorten its supply chains and provide better service to Trilux customers in the region.
“For us, working with Trilux is a great honour and proves that we are the first-choice partner for international industry leaders. Poland has become a key industrial hub and our BTS projects provide the ideal solution for companies looking for high-quality manufacturing space that will enable them to grow their businesses and innovate”, says Marek Foryński, BTS Managing Director at Panattoni.
“This is a quintessential BTS project with complicated site preparation, construction work completed in barely seven months, the production hall tailored to the needs of an advanced manufacturing process and office space of the highest standard similar to the latest office buildings built in Warsaw”, adds Maciej Zawada, BTS Development Director at Panattoni.
The office space at the Trilux factory in Świdnik has been designed to provide comfortable working conditions. Spanning more than 3,000 sqm, it includes offices, conference rooms, rest areas and focus rooms that allow for small group work. The entire area has been fitted out with comfortable furniture, Trilux intelligent human-centric lighting (HCL) and a colour scheme to improve productivity as well as workers’ sense of well-being.
The factory in Świdnik is to be certified under BREEAM for a rating of Excellent. The roof of the building has been reinforced for the installation of solar panels while energy- and water-saving solutions significantly reduce the plant’s operating costs. Electric vehicle charging stations have appeared on site as well as native shrubbery, a flower meadow and insect hotels to enhance local biodiversity.
