Panattoni is constructing a Built To Own (BTO) manufacturing centre for Compal. Electronic components for the automotive industry are to be produced in a modern factory that is under construction in Czeladz. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 29th and the end of the construction work is scheduled for May 2025. The total value of the investment is estimated at c. €14.5m.
“Our goal is to supply superb products and services while at the same time adding to the growth of the local economy. By setting up manufacturing and service centres in China, the US, Vietnam, Brazil and now in Poland, we are able to ensure quick and flexible support for our customers throughout the world,” said Arthur Wang – Vice President of Compal, “Panattoni was the natural choice as our partner for us to develop our first European production plant due to the developer’s extensive experience in delivering complex BTO projects.”
“We are proud to be able to work with Compal on such an ambitious project. Advanced custom-built production facilities have become our speciality. Our experience and our care for the highest quality standards were key factors in Compal’s choice of our company,” said Marek Dobrzycki, the Managing Director of Panattoni.
The new factory will contain an SMT production line, a vehicle control module production line and a quality control point. Due to the nature of the company’s operations, the building has to be constructed to meet the exact specifications of the investor. The entire production line is to be placed in a clean room, with ESD flooring as well as strictly monitored temperature, humidity and dust-free air, which are all essential for the creation of advanced electronics.
The factory will be built on three land plots and the first stage will cover 7,650m2, including manufacturing space, storage, and offices. The project aims for BREEAM certification with an "Excellent" rating. Compal is being advised by Colliers for both business and technical matters, and ongoing supervision will be provided for the multi-stage development.
“The land purchased in Czeladź has excellent access to local infrastructure as well as to Poland’s main transportation routes. Nonetheless, the challenge, just as it is across the entire region, is to be able to guarantee the required electrical power connections in such a short period of time. This will require Compal to make the required connections to the local grid and work closely with an energy distributor," said Jarosław Schulz, Associate Director of the Building Consultancy of Colliers.
