MEDLOG officially broke ground for our new cold storage facility in Gdynia, Poland, joined by customers, local and regional authorities, business partners and members of the local logistics community.
Located in the Port of Gdynia, the five-hectare facility marks the beginning of an important development for temperature-controlled logistics in the region.
The new facility will strengthen MEDLOG’s capabilities in cold chain logistics and support customers requiring reliable storage and distribution solutions for temperature-sensitive cargo. The investment reflects our commitment to expanding infrastructure and delivering integrated logistics services aligned with the evolving needs of our customers.
The new cold store will offer approximately 30,000 pallet positions for frozen and chilled cargo, equivalent to around 1,500 forty-foot refrigerated containers. The warehouse will be semi-automated and feature high-density mobile racking systems to maximise storage capacity. Once fully operational, the facility is expected to create at least 60 jobs and help develop logistics expertise in the region.
Designed to handle both imports and exports, the facility will provide frozen storage and blast-freezing capabilities, alongside dedicated chilled storage for fresh fruit and other temperature-sensitive commodities. The chambers will be able to switch between chilled and frozen settings, allowing capacity to adapt to changing market demand and cargo requirements.
The cold store’s proximity to the Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) and Gdynia Container Terminal (GCT) as well as MEDLOG’s existing container depot will promote efficient cargo flows between the port, warehouse and inland distribution networks. The facility will be open to all shippers and consignees regardless of the shipping line or freight forwarding company they work with.
The event welcomes representatives from the Port of Gdynia Authority and the City of Gdynia, along with customers, business partners, the general project contractor Atlas Ward, and facility designer, Arcadis. Colleagues from MEDLOG Geneva, who oversee the development of MEDLOG’s global cold store network, also attended.
MEDLOG currently operates eight cold storage facilities worldwide, with five additional facilities under construction, including Gdynia. This ongoing investment forms part of our long-term strategy, as we continue to assess opportunities in markets where demand for temperature-controlled logistics solutions is increasing.
We would like to thank all guests, customers, partners and project teams who joined us for this special occasion.
We look forward to sharing further updates as construction progresses and to welcoming customers to the facility in the future.
