The company is in the process of selecting the general contractor who will start digging the foundations for the new 3.5 k sq. m hall in April. The new distribution centre is set to begin operating in September. The value of the investment is estimated at PLN 8 M.

 

“We are closing our existing headquarters in Cukrowa in Szczecinie and moving to Stagrard", says Grzegorz Kotyński, managing director of Ottensten Polska company. After relocation to the new seat, the company will add ten people to their workforce. Today, the headcount is 35.

 

Why move? “We need more space for development and better working conditions. In Stargard, we’ve found the right plot which is ready for construction”, answers Grzegorz Kotyński. The list of planned investments within the firm includes a new IT system that will make work easier for the whole Ottensten Capital Group in Europe, as well as pneumatic jacks for the warehouse.
