Four countries: Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia will be managed jointly under the name of Goodman CEE, the company said last week.

Due to importance of the Polish market, it will be managed separately with its own Country Manager. Head office for the rest of Central Eastern Europe is placed in Budapest, and will be headed by Zsombor Török – Country Manager in Hungary. Hungary was chosen as the central due to its strategic location along the favoured logistics corridors and its neighboring with 7 other countries.

Goodman is currently developing a 22,000 sqm warehouse in Gyál, one of the logistics hot spots in the Budapest area. The flexible and high-quality facility is strategically located at the junction of the M0, the ring road around Budapest, and Highway M5, connecting Budapest with the south-east of Hungary and Romania, Serbia and the Balkans. The Gyál project will be available for rent in Q1 2009.

Following a successful 23,000 sqm sale-and-lease-back project that Goodman realized for leading logistics service provider HOPI in Hungary in 2007, Goodman is now developing a 16,000 sqm solution for them in the Bratislava area in Slovakia. The project forms part of Goodman’s 180,000 sqm logistics centre in Senec, Slovakia’s major distribution hub housing international key logistics players. The 180,000 sqm logistics centre offers warehouse and office space suitable for warehousing, distribution and light production facilities. Next to the HOPI warehouse, Goodman is currently building three speculative warehouse units for multi-client use. On completion of Phase I in August 2008, the combined 30,000 sqm will comprise a 28,816 sqm warehouse with 1,280 sqm of office space and 300 sqm of technical rooms.

Goodman will focus on key logistics regions such as Prague, Brno and Ostrava.

Apart from 14,500 sqm warehouse build for Hellmann-PKZ in Jazlovice, Goodman developed a 14,500 sqm warehouse in Modletice, near Prague for BAX Global. BAX Global contacted Goodman when in search of one partner for three new distribution centres for the storage, assembly and distribution of high-quality electronic equipment and related devices in Central Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and Southern Europe.

BAX Global’s facility in Modletice now serves as their central hub for the distribution towards the whole Central and Eastern European area. It is located at the crossroads of Highway D1, the communication backbone of the Czech Republic, and the ring road around Prague. The site is 13 km from the Prague City Centre and close to the Prague Airport.
