The Intermarche chain, which is part of the Muszkieterowie Group — a coalition of Polish independent entrepreneurs — has launched a new distribution center at Panattoni Park Sosnowiec IV in the Silesian Voivodeship of Poland.
Intermarche has relocated its warehousing operations to Panattoni Park Sosnowiec IV from its previous base in Myslowice. The chain has taken up 33,600 square meters at Park Sosnowiec IV, expanding its warehouse area by over 6,000 square meters compared to the former location. The official opening of the new Intermarche warehouse took place on June 10, 2025, with attendees including Slawomir Czarnecki, President of the Muszkieterowie Group; Adrian Podziemski, President of Intermarche Poland; Arkadiusz Checinski, the Mayor of Sosnowiec; and various representatives of the developer and investor, employees, and guests.
“The new distribution center marks a significant step in developing our logistics infrastructure — it will enhance our operational efficiency and allow us to serve stores in the region more effectively,” said Adrian Podziemski, President of Intermarche Poland. “We placed particular importance on creating optimal conditions for managing fresh and frozen products. That’s why it was crucial to find a partner who understands the specifics of our operations and can provide the right technological solutions. Another key aspect was the energy efficiency of the facility — not only because of tangible savings but also as part of the Muszkieterowie Group’s sustainable development strategy.”
“This investment is another element confirming both our long-term strategy for the Polish market and our determination to make Intermarche the favorite supermarket of Polish consumers and, ultimately, the leader in this market segment,” he added.
“We’re pleased that such a key player as Intermarche chose our development. From the very beginning, we closely collaborated with the tenant to tailor both the warehouse interiors and the surroundings to its operational processes,” said Marek Dobrzycki, Partner at Panattoni. “The opening of the Intermarche facility and the completion of the new park marks another step in our expansion in the Silesian Voivodeship. We continue to support the transformation of this region — having delivered over 2.9 million square meters of modern industrial space here already, more than anywhere else in the country, with further investments already in the pipeline.”
According to Panattoni, “the Intermarche distribution center has been designed to maximize operational efficiency while minimizing its environmental impact. A dedicated 9,500 square meters cold storage area includes a 2,000-square-meter freezer zone, ensuring optimal conditions for temperature-sensitive products. The building is equipped with state-of-the-art LED lighting, integrated with a DALI system, for enhanced energy efficiency, employee comfort, and fully automated lighting control in both warehouse and office areas. A 1,100 kWp rooftop photovoltaic installation has also been installed. The ventilation system features heat recovery, reducing energy use in office spaces.”
In addition, Panattoni reports, “the offices were designed with user comfort in mind, ensuring access to daylight, high acoustic standards, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality. For Intermarche employees, three electric car charging stations (six charging points) and a 20-bike shelter were installed near the building.”
Panattoni Park Sosnowiec IV consists of two buildings, covering 48,500 square meters and 14,300 square meters respectively. The site is located near the junction of Poland’s National Road 94 and 3 kilometers from the S1 expressway.
The investment was developed on a brownfield site that had served for decades in mining, metallurgy, and industrial functions. In the past, it hosted the Ignacy mine shaft, the Silma electric motor plant, and more recently, the Expo Silesia exhibition center.
As part of the site development, 275 mature trees — primarily native species such as silver birch, rowan, and small-leaved lime — were planted. Green infrastructure also includes shrubs at the entrance, a 275-square-meter wildflower meadow, and insect houses and natural habitats. A portion of the existing forest was preserved on-site to complement the newly designed landscape.
