A British process filter manufacturer has taken on nearly 2,800 sq m of purpose-built production, warehouse and office space in Poland to bolster its European and global expansion plans.
Surrey-based Amazon Filters’ Polish subsidiary is the first tenant at the newly unveiled CTPark Nowy Konik industrial park near Warsaw.
The lease deal with the owner, developer and operator of the complex, CTP, will enable significantly increased manufacturing capacity and better transport connections into markets across the continent and beyond.
The new production centre replaces a smaller Amazon Filters facility which has been operating in a mainly residential area of the Polish capital since 2014 and employs more than 30 team members.
Jan Gradoń, president of the management board of subsidiary Amazon Filters Sp. z o.o., said: “The new plant will significantly increase our production and storage capacity, resulting in a faster and more flexible service for customers in Poland and across Europe. “This investment directly supports our ‘quick and able’ manufacturing ethos: to deliver filtration solutions when and where they are most needed, helping our partners avoid costly downtime.
“The move will enable us to maintain the highest standards of quality and timeliness, which are the foundation of our brand.
As a strategic move to serve European markets, the hub will complement an already well-established sales and distribution hub in Germany where ten managers and staff are based, and the 40-year-old firm’s main global production centre in Camberley, Surrey, UK, which has more than 270 employees.
Together the facilities will support the continuing manufacture and supply of process filtration cartridges and housings for essential industrial sectors such as water treatment, energy, automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemicals and coatings, and construction.
