The cost of the investment exceeded PLN 11 million. In the new facility, the Raben Group has the total of approximately 50 full time employees and cooperates with 70 subcontractors. The new facility consists of a three-story office building with the area of 715 m2 as well as a warehousing and transit facility of almost 3 885 m2. The scope of the investment project included also a parking lot for trucks, unloading platforms as well as new roads, a car park and sidewalks.

The first office of the Raben Group in Szczecin was established in 1999. In the new branch, the Raben Group companies provide international and domestic road transport services, both full-vehicle and single pallet transport, also as regards products that require a controlled temperature between +2 and +6o C. Additionally, the offering includes contract logistics as well as sea container loading/unloading.

“The Raben Group operates in ten European countries and provides a wide variety of TSL services. Szczecin is an important location on the logistic map of Poland”, said Ewald Raben, President of the Raben Group, at the opening ceremony. “Easy access to sea and river ports and its geography enabling efficient transport of parcels to our Western neighbors, make Szczecin an attractive location”.

“Proximity of the German border and Scandinavia has been a factor leading to an increase in business activity around Szczecin”, comments Janusz Anioł, CEO of Raben Polska. Therefore, development of our forwarding branch in Szczecin to handle parcels from the West Pomeranian region is becoming a necessity. A number of logistics companies, not only from Poland but also from Western Europe, have been opening their branches in Szczecin with a view to delivering warehousing services. But it is the Raben Group that may boast about the most state-of-the-art facilities in the region”.
