Panattoni Europe has finished construction work on an industrial project for Kitron, a Scandinavian electronics manufacturing company. The BTS scheme was delivered in Grudziadz, the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone. It will create 150 jobs by the end of 2020.
Panattoni Europe has completed the first Polish industrial project for Kitron, a Norwegian producer of advanced electronics for defence, aviation, medical, automotive and telecommunications industries. The facility totalling more than 8,200 sqm was built on a 3.5-hectare site. Its industrial section takes up 7,130 sqm, including 5,100 sqm of manufacturing space. The remaining 1,100 sqm is office and welfare space. The built-to-suit (BTS) project is fully tailored to the needs of Kitron’s technologies: automated production and Industry 4.0 requirements. It will manufacture components and electronic products for various industries. As a result, the interior is more like a sleek laboratory than a typical manufacturing plant. For instance, the facility features systems for temperature and humidity control provided by air handling units, an elaborate network of cable trays, a compressed air and vacuum system, and a dry room with a maximum inside temperature of 75°C. In addition, the facility has an ESD antistatic resin flooring that collects and carries electric charges to the ground to protect it against electrostatic discharges.
