LCube Szczecin Goleniów Welcomes Copper-Joint as New Tenant

LCube Szczecin Goleniów logistics and production park is located in Łozienica, within the Goleniów Industrial Park area, near the S3 and S6 expressways, as well as the A6 motorway leading to Berlin. The park's prime location provides tenants with the advantage of efficiently distributing goods not only within the Polish market but also to Scandinavia, Germany, and other Western European regions. Another advantage of this location is its direct proximity to the Goleniów Industrial Park, which has attracted companies in the energy industry, especially those focused on the wind energy segment, who have chosen to invest in the area.

“Our facility will serve as Copper-Joint's inaugural industrial and warehouse location in Poland, marking a significant achievement for the entire LCube team. In addition to its logistically convenient location in Western Pomerania, the new tenant was seeking a space that would enable the combination of warehouse functions with light manufacturing. We are currently preparing the space according to the tenant's specifications, and it will be handed over to Copper-Joint at the end of October," explained Piotrek Krawczyk, Senior Leasing Manager at LCube.

Headquartered in Suzhou, Copper-Joint was founded in 2007 and operates as a service and solution provider in the electric power, wind power, and electric vehicle industries. Copper-Joint has established itself as one of the leading OEM (original equipment manufacturer) suppliers in the wind power industry, serving such customers as Vestas, Siemens, GE, and Eaton. In addition to China, the company runs its operations in North America and Europe. According to the new tenant, some 15-20 people will find employment at the new location in LCube Szczecin Goleniów.

The region of Szczecin and Goleniów is a very interesting area on the European map in terms of the wind energy industry. The region is home to numerous manufacturers, and the Baltic Sea holds immense potential for the growth and development of the wind energy market segment. As a premier supplier to industry leaders, we wanted to be in close proximity to the thriving heart of this industry, which is why we chose this location for our first venture in Poland," stated Earl Lee, operation manager of Copper-Joint.

The Goleniów park offers tenants a modern warehouse space of 11,000 sqm and office space of 1,100 sqm. The entire project boasts the highest standard of fire resistance, exceeding 4,000 MJ. LCube Szczecin Goleniów was also designed to meet the BREEAM certification criteria at the 'very good' level.

“Tenants are showing growing interest in the environmentally friendly solutions provided within the development, including destratification, LED lighting, and roof reinforcement for the installation of photovoltaic panels, and such was the case for Cooper-Joint, too. The LCube building standard perfectly addressed these needs by fulfilling all the client's requirements. Copper-Joint's environmentally friendly approach aligned seamlessly with both the developer's policy and the values represented by CBRE. By optimizing technological, transport, and communication solutions, we not only minimize the environmental impact of warehouse and production tenants' operations but also substantially reduce costs for entrepreneurs," added Małgorzata Ronkowska, Senior Consultant in CBRE's warehouse space leasing department.

In December of last year, LCube announced the sale of the Goleniów facility to a fund managed by IPOPEMA Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych S.A. Significantly, the agreement between the investor and the developer stipulates that LCube will continue to be responsible for the implementation and commercialization of the project.

In addition to the Goleniów investment, LCube is presently involved in the development and commercialization of three other projects: LCube Rzeszów Airport (25,800 sq m), LCube Wrocław East (almost 60,000 sq m), and LCube Mszczonów (approximately 33,000 sq m).

LCube plans to purchase at least six more land plots for warehouse projects this year, with a goal to deliver 200,000 sq m within logistics and production parks by the end of 2024. In January of this year, the developer has already acquired an additional land plot in Dobrzykowice near Wrocław, and they have also secured two other locations near Kraków and Warsaw.
