Preparations for the installation of a sorter at the postal sorting office in Lisi Ogon near Bydgoszcz
Poczta Polska is preparing to install a modern parcel sorter at its logistics facility near Bydgoszcz. The company has signed an agreement with a contractor to carry out the construction work necessary to install the modern parcel sorter.
The remodeling and modernization of the postal logistics network is a strategic project currently being implemented by the company. Following the commencement of adaptation work at the sorting facilities in Wrocław and Lublin and the signing of a contract for a new logistics facility for Warsaw, adaptation of the facility in Lisi Ogon near Bydgoszcz is now underway.
Following a tender process, the contractor, REVBUD SA from Toruń, was selected to carry out the adaptation work at the WER Lisi Ogon logistics facility. The planned work includes the reconstruction of the main logistics facility, which will enable the installation of a parcel sorter. Additionally, two buildings will be constructed: a warehouse/dispatch facility and an office building, directly connected to the existing facility.
" After commencing modernization work at our Wrocław and Lublin facilities, the time has come to address the sorting facility in Lisi Ogon near Bydgoszcz. Poczta Polska is taking a comprehensive approach to optimizing and improving the efficiency of its logistics processes, the effects of which will soon be felt across the country. Modernizing our facilities and adapting them to the increasing volume of parcel shipments is another step toward modernization and improved efficiency in parcel handling for business and individual customers, " emphasizes Krzysztof Falkowski, President of the Management Board of Poczta Polska.
As part of the planned work at the existing logistics facility, the contractor will remodel the central section of the hall and relocate all necessary installations for the future sorting machine. Additionally, the building will be equipped with 10 new loading docks, as well as office, staff, technical, and maintenance spaces. As a result of the work, the internal circulation routes will also be modified.
A 566 m² warehouse and shipping facility will be built on the northern side of the hall, directly adjacent to the wall of the technology building. Among other functions, it will store bulk packaging and support logistics processes related to the release of parcels to couriers. A total of 14 courier gates, accessible from ground level, have been designed on its two opposite walls. Access roads will be built to the new docks, and the maneuvering area system will be modernized, enabling faster release of sorted parcels.
The second planned facility will be a two-story office building located on the south side of the technology hall, with an area of 335 m² . The newly designed building will include office, training, technical, and social spaces.
As a result of the work, the total usable area of the sorting plant in Lisi Ogon will increase by over 900 m² . Simultaneously with the adaptation work, the installation of an automatic parcel sorter is scheduled to begin this year.
" Given the current market situation and the growing e-commerce market, having properly located and equipped logistics facilities is crucial. This is crucial for shortening the delivery time of parcels to customers, especially Pocztex courier packages. This investment will increase service efficiency and enhance the competitiveness and quality of services offered, " emphasizes Andrzej Bodziony, Vice President of the Management Board of Poczta Polska.
Poczta Polska is implementing a project to transform its logistics network to handle the growing volume of CEP shipments (courier, express, parcel). The Logistics Network Architecture is one of Poczta Polska's most important strategic initiatives. Implementation of this project will enable the smooth transformation of the current logistics network, primarily designed for letter handling, into a target network with CEP and e-commerce shipments as its primary focus.
Recently, adaptation work has also begun at sorting plants in Wrocław and Lublin. The aim is to modernize existing logistics facilities and adapt processes there to accommodate the installation of new parcel sorters.
