LPP Logistics has signed an 11-year lease agreement for a new distribution centre in Romania. The move is a strategic response to increasing operational needs and the recent loss of a prior facility in the region.

The new centre at CTPark Bucharest West is strategically located near the Romanian capital. It will significantly strengthen services for the LPP Group’s stores in Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece. Plans indicate that the facility will also support other South-Eastern European markets in the future.

The development is a key part of the LPP Group’s continued expansion plans, specifically for its Sinsay brand. Sinsay recently opened its 200th store in Romania this November. The warehouse will also provide essential logistics support for the online sales fulfilment centres managed by LPP Logistics in Romania.

The Polish operator prioritised swift action following a recent fire at its former distribution centre in the Romanian market. This rapid response was aimed at ensuring operational continuity for deliveries to stores and e-commerce warehouses across the region.

Sebastian Sołtys, President of LPP Logistics, emphasised the necessity of the new facility: “Our warehouse investments are closely correlated with the LPP Group’s development plans. After decommissioning our first foreign facility of this type, ensuring operational continuity in South-Eastern Europe became a priority.”

He added: “Thanks to operational agility and the ability to temporarily transfer processes to other warehouses in Europe, we were able to maintain the smooth supply of several hundred stores in the region and e-commerce warehouses. However, bearing in mind the long-term stability and efficiency of our distribution network, the reopening of the facility in Romania became a necessity. The new centre will not only improve service to local markets, but will also be a key element of Sinsay’s ambitious expansion plan in the region.”

The new facility covers an area of nearly 60,000 sq m. Its location adjacent to the fulfilment centre launched in October this year is crucial for effective network functioning.

Operations will rely on modern technologies, including automatic goods receiving systems and a sorter with a capacity of over 8,000 items per hour. An integrated system of automatic conveyors, measuring 1.3 km in total length, will also be used. These solutions will allow the efficient shipment of up to 6.5 million items of clothing per week.

The first section of the new distribution centre is scheduled to be operational at the end of the first quarter of 2026. Shipments to physical stores will begin in June. This new hub is the tenth facility in the LPP Logistics portfolio. Next year, the LPP Group’s total expenditure on logistics may reach PLN 1 billion.
