Panattoni completes another stage of Bombardier factory

Panattoni Europe has announced that another stage of development has been completed at the manufacturing hall for Bombardier Transportation, the company said. The new facility, totalling 19,377 sqm, will make modern body shells for passenger trains, including ICx high-speed trains. The manufacturing section of 18,357 sqm will be divided into a laser welding room and a paint shop. Eight months after entering the building site, Panattoni Europe has completed works on the welding room – featuring tracks on which elements of train car bodies will be brought in. At present, work is continuing on the paint shop – completion of this stage is planned for this July, and it will take one month more for Bombardier Transportation to connect the technical appliances. The Wrocław investment is implemented in the build-to-own (BTO) formula – where the client orders a facility that it will subsequently own. Panattoni Europe anticipates completion of the work by July 2016.
