Prologis, a global leader in logistics real estate, has signed a lease agreement with Unitop, a Łódź-based company with more than 80 years of tradition and the largest producer of halva and sesame snaps in Poland and Europe. At Prologis Park Łódź, the customer will lease more than 6,700 square metres of modern production and logistics space tailored to the stringent requirements of confectionery manufacturing for products distributed in Poland and abroad. The agreement was signed under the Clear Lease® model, providing full cost transparency and operational predictability.
Unitop has been inseparably connected with Łódź since 1945. Establishing operations at Prologis Park Łódź will enable the company to remain in its historic region while significantly increasing production capacity. The new facility will be fully adapted to the entire technological process for sesame-based products, which requires advanced machinery and strict quality control at every stage — from preparing the mass and precisely combining ingredients to forming, portioning and packaging finished products. Relocating to a Class A facility will optimize operating costs and support more efficient management of the entire supply chain. Combined with improved raw material flows, this will directly increase the efficiency of halva distribution to the Polish market and key international markets.
Unitop and Prologis were advised during the lease negotiations by commercial real estate experts from Platis.
Łódź heritage meets modern production
“For Unitop, Łódź is part of our identity, not just a location. The new facility at Prologis Park Łódź enables us to combine tradition with modernity — we will launch an advanced production line here and improve the entire supply chain. The modern building will also provide a completely new standard and greater comfort for our employees. We also value the financial transparency offered by the Clear Lease® agreement. It provides a solid foundation that allows us to plan the company’s future at Prologis Park Łódź with confidence,” said Magdalena Piestrzyńska-Książek, President of the Management Board at Unitop.
The agreement between Prologis and Unitop was concluded under the Clear Lease® model, which simplifies the management of operating costs and increases their predictability throughout the lease term. The fixed rate covers standard operating costs, including ongoing maintenance, upkeep, repairs and administrative fees. Public charges, such as real estate tax and utilities, are billed separately based on actual consumption and applicable tariffs.
“Unitop’s decision to choose Prologis Park Łódź shows that modern production and logistics facilities can effectively meet the needs of companies in the food manufacturing sector. For operations based on regular deliveries of raw materials and distribution of finished products, solutions that streamline everyday processes are essential — from modern docks and spacious manoeuvring yards to a well-planned facility layout. The park’s location is another major advantage, providing excellent access to the national road network and key transport hubs. This combination of well-designed infrastructure and a strong location enables companies such as Unitop to grow more efficiently,” said Piotr Lenczewski, Senior Leasing Manager at Prologis.
A new standard for production, distribution and employees
Prologis Park Łódź is one of the best-connected logistics parks in Central Poland. The complex is located in the Widzew-Olechów district, approximately 7 kilometres from the centre of Łódź, just 3 kilometres from the A1 motorway connecting northern and southern Poland, and 10 kilometres from the Stryków junction, where the A1 and A2 motorways intersect. This location enables efficient service of the Łódź metropolitan area, the domestic market and international distribution routes. Direct access to public transport is an additional advantage, with bus and tram stops located near the facility, making daily commutes easier for employees.
Customers at Prologis Park Łódź have access to numerous parking spaces for passenger cars and trucks, two entrance gates and infrastructure prepared for electric vehicle chargers. Security and operational efficiency are supported by 24/7 security, ongoing technical service and the support of Prologis’ property management team. The park also offers solutions that support sustainability and employee wellbeing, including green areas, its own apiary, relaxation zones with benches, deckchairs and tables, a bicycle shelter with a repair station, and a multifunctional sports field available to employees during their free time. The annual Prologis Football Tournament for the Navika Cup is also held there, with its name referring to Navika the mermaid featured in the mural welcoming employees and guests to Prologis Park Łódź.
