The LuLu Group, a major retailer based in the UAE, is establishing a logistics hub in Poland as part of its strategy to extend its footprint in the European market.
The company has recently solidified agreements and partnerships with the Polish Investment and Trade Agency as well as Olsztyn Mazury Airport, demonstrating its commitment to bringing this ambitious plan to successful fruition and fostering economic growth in the region.
This move follows closely on the heels of LuLu Group’s inauguration of a sourcing, food processing, and export hub in Italy. In this new venture in Poland, the retail giant will construct a facility at Olsztyn Mazury Airport designed to handle fresh products such as meat, berries, apples, cheese, and other packaged foods.
These goods will be shipped to diverse markets in regions spanning the Middle East, North Africa, the Far East, and India, reflecting the company’s global reach and strategic market expansion.
The planned facility will serve as the company’s inaugural logistics centre in Central and Eastern Europe, according to Zawya News.
It will not only increase the availability of local Polish products on LuLu’s supermarket shelves but also enhance collaboration between Polish producers, suppliers, and UAE contractors.
Pawel Kurtasz, Chairman of the Management Board of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, believes that this investment will create fresh opportunities for local Polish producers.
“The logistics centre in Poland will play a key role in the development of the LuLu Group International’s business in Central and Eastern Europe,” a statement said.
It further mentioned that “The new investment is another step in the company’s expansion, which will strengthen its position as one of the most important players in the global retail market”.
