Panattoni to build 26,000-sqm factory for Ontex

Industrial space developer Panattoni Europe is to build an over 26,000-sqm production facility for the Belgian personal hygiene products manufacturer Ontex. The lease agreement between the companies was signed for 15 years and was brokered by JLL. The project will be located in Radomsko in the Łódź Special Economic Zone and is scheduled to be completed in July 2018. This will be the first factory of Ontex in Poland with the company currently delivering its products to the country from the Czech Republic. Ontex will initially invest approximately €40 million in its first Polish plant and employ around 170 people in the location. In the future, the eleven-hectare site will enable the company to expand the facility by some 50,000 sqm and to increase the number of employees to about 350.
