Pall-Ex Poland has celebrated its latest milestone by opening a new central hub in Łódź.
The new facility means that the central hub now finds itself in the center of the country, making it the perfect location to increase the network’s efficiency.

The new hub supports Pall-Ex Poland’s ambition to increase annual pallet volumes to exceed 500,000 in 2023, as the new hub provides more space and transshipment docks, further improving hub efficiency.
The investment does not end with the new hub, as the impressive new offices also include a state-of-the-art training room, where staff can develop their skills in Pall-Ex Group’s sector leading IT system, Nexus.
