Valeo Siemens eAutomotive, a leading supplier of motors and other technologies for electric and hybrid vehicles, has opened a factory in the 7R Park Beskid II logistics park in Czechowice-Dziedzice, Poland. The facility, with office and laboratory space, occupies about 33,000 sqm.
There were two major challenges for the realization of this project. Firstly, the functional connection of the office section, located on the first floor, with the production part. Secondly, the preparation of the production area for a number of requirements of the technological process according to the standards of the client's requirements, including glass walls that allow for the constant supervision of the production lines. This solution required us to take an unconventional approach - it was necessary to provide the tenant with a specific level of functionality and fire safety standards. Valeo Siemens eAutomotive stressed that apart from the large number of adjustments to the building, such as ensuring large power supply, compressed air installations, bus bars, ventilation and organizing permanent workstations, another priority was also the very comfortable working environment for the Valeo Siemens eAutomotive’employed in the facility. The entire hall is designed to accommodate the future development needs of Valeo Siemens eAutomotive,
says Maciej Krawiecki, Head of Leasing at 7R.
A region with potential
When we built our first warehouse park in Beskidy, we knew that this area had great investment potential. An excellent location, proximity to the largest cities of the Silesian agglomeration, border crossings with the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well as a very well developed road infrastructure are certainly significant advantages of this area. Silesia is becoming an increasingly innovation-oriented region, attracting such renowned tenants as Valeo Siemens eAutomotive. Our client occupies one of the five buildings in Park Beskid II, where a modern technological line has been constructed. Further halls which are already pre-leased are also under construction,
adds Ryszard Gretkowski, Vice-Chairman of the Board at 7R.
