Panattoni opens 23,000 sqm BTS factory for TRILUX in Świdnik

Panattoni has officially launched operations at a new 23,000 sqm build-to-suit (BTS) factory developed for TRILUX, a leading German manufacturer of professional lighting solutions. The facility, located in Świdnik, marks TRILUX’s first manufacturing site in Poland and represents a significant step in the company’s expansion into Central and Eastern Europe.

The decision to establish the factory in Świdnik was driven by TRILUX’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly LED lighting products. With the capability to produce up to one million light fittings annually, the plant will enhance the company’s production capacity, reduce supply chain times, and improve service to its customers in the region.

Marek Foryński, BTS Managing Director at Panattoni, expressed pride in the partnership with TRILUX, noting, “Working with TRILUX is a great honor and reinforces our position as the preferred partner for international industry leaders. Poland has become a key industrial hub, and our BTS solutions provide businesses with the high-quality manufacturing space needed to innovate and grow.”

The factory is equipped with cutting-edge manufacturing technology, including in-house metal and plastics processing, a state-of-the-art powder coating plant, and flexible assembly stations. This modern infrastructure allows TRILUX to efficiently cater to individual customer orders while maintaining high production standards.

“This project is a perfect example of a BTS development. It involved complex site preparation and construction, completed in just seven months, with the production hall tailored to advanced manufacturing processes and office spaces that meet the highest standards,” said Maciej Zawada, BTS Development Director at Panattoni.

The office space at the Świdnik factory spans over 3,000 sqm and follows the ‘New Work’ concept, offering a modern and comfortable environment designed to promote creativity and productivity. The space includes offices, conference rooms, rest areas, and focus rooms, all equipped with TRILUX’s intelligent human-centric lighting (HCL) system. The design aims to enhance the well-being and productivity of employees, with a stylish canteen serving as a hub for relaxation and social interaction.

TRILUX chose Poland for its third European manufacturing facility due to the country’s strategic location, competitive costs, skilled workforce, and favorable business conditions. The investment is already benefiting the local economy, having created 80 new jobs, with plans to expand to 250 employees in the near future.

Panattoni’s commitment to sustainable development is evident in the factory’s design, which aims to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating. The building features energy-efficient solutions, including solar panel-ready roof reinforcement, electric vehicle charging stations, and water-saving technologies. Additionally, the site incorporates green initiatives such as native shrubbery, a flower meadow, and insect hotels to support local biodiversity.

This new development is part of Panattoni’s broader strategy of supporting clients across various industries with customized BTS solutions. To date, the developer has completed over 4 million sqm of BTS space, accounting for 30% of its total projects. Recently, Panattoni also completed a 13,500 sqm factory for Maxcess in Fałkowo and a 9,200 sqm facility for Air Spiralo in Szamotuły, further solidifying its leadership in the BTS market.

The TRILUX factory in Świdnik is set to become a model of modern manufacturing, blending high-tech production with sustainability and employee well-being.
