IN Brief:
- Röhlig SUUS Logistics has opened a 15,500 m² logistics centre in Szczecin.
- The site includes 12,000 m² of warehouse space, nearly 3,000 m² of cross-dock space, and 13,000 pallet spaces.
- The hub strengthens flows between Poland, Scandinavia, Western Europe, and regional seaports.
Röhlig SUUS Logistics has opened a new logistics centre in Szczecin, consolidating operations previously carried out across two locations and expanding capacity for domestic, Scandinavian, Western European, and seaport-linked flows.
The new facility covers approximately 15,500 m², combining 12,000 m² of warehouse space with a cross-dock terminal of nearly 3,000 m². It is equipped with 22 loading docks, a 40-metre external ramp, and around 13,000 pallet spaces. Operations at the site are due to begin in the second half of May.
The hub is located in the Kostrzyn-Słubice Special Economic Zone at 5 Cynkowa Street, close to the S3 and A6 routes. The location supports domestic distribution, international road freight, daily groupage connections to Sweden and Norway, and transport to and from regional seaports.
The branch provides warehousing, value-added services, on-site customs clearance, sea-container consolidation and deconsolidation, full truckload, less-than-truckload, and last-mile pallet distribution. Röhlig SUUS also plans to implement an AutoStore robotic storage system at the Szczecin branch later this year.
The facility is being prepared for certification to handle food and pet food, extending its potential customer base into sectors with tighter storage and handling requirements. It also includes 1,200 m² of office space, a dedicated driver rest area, a 50 kWp photovoltaic installation, intelligent media management, roof skylights across 12.5% of the warehouse and cross-dock roof area, flower meadows, and electric vehicle charging stations. The building is undergoing BREEAM certification at Excellent level.
The Szczecin investment strengthens the logistics role of north-west Poland. Western Pomerania connects Polish industry with Scandinavia and Western European markets, including Germany and the Netherlands. Regional maritime infrastructure, including the development of the container port in Świnoujście, is also increasing the area’s role in international goods movement.
Consolidating two previous operating locations into one larger site should improve process control and reduce internal complexity. Cross-dock and warehousing functions can be coordinated more tightly, while customs, value-added services, and transport links can be managed through a single branch structure.
The combination of warehousing, cross-dock, customs, container handling, and last-mile pallet distribution gives the site a broader role than static storage. Customers increasingly need facilities that can support labelling, co-packing, inspection, customs handling, staged dispatch, and regional distribution from the same location. That mix is particularly valuable when supply chains are being reconfigured around shorter lead times and more flexible inventory positioning.
The planned AutoStore deployment also reflects the changing requirements placed on contract logistics sites. Multi-service hubs are now assessed on automation potential, data visibility, energy performance, driver facilities, certification, and the ability to handle regulated product categories, not square metres alone.
The food and pet food certification plans add another operational layer. These categories require tighter control over hygiene, traceability, and handling standards, while still depending on cost-efficient storage and transport execution. The ability to serve such categories from a multimodal logistics node increases the site’s value across both manufacturing and retail supply chains.
Röhlig SUUS’ Szczecin hub brings additional space, automation potential, customs capability, and cross-border connectivity into a region whose logistics role is expanding. Its position between road, maritime, warehouse, and value-added operations gives the company a stronger platform for customers moving goods between Central Europe, Scandinavia, Western Europe, and the Baltic corridor.
