LX Pantos opens 109000 sq metre Katowice hub for European growth

LX Pantos, a major South Korean logistics operator, has completed construction of a $167 million logistics centre in Katowice, Poland, marking a significant expansion into Central and Eastern Europe. The 109,000 square metre complex comprises five buildings and was developed through a partnership with South Korean government entities and the PIS No 2 Fund, with partial financing from Korea Ocean.

This move reflects the strategic importance of Poland as a European distribution hub, particularly for companies seeking to serve both Western European markets and Eastern supply chains. The investment signals growing confidence among Asian logistics providers in the CEE region's potential as a gateway to European commerce, driven by geographic positioning, lower operating costs, and improving infrastructure.
