Lublin, 4 July 2025: Stock Polska, part of Stock Spirits Group and one of the leading producers of alcoholic beverages in Poland has officially opened one the country’s most modern logistics centres. The 55,800 sqm facility, located in the 7R Park Lublin East I complex, is the result of a multi-stage planning and construction process, aimed at significantly increasing the company’s operational efficiency over the long term. The investment is a significant pillar of Stock Spirits’ transformation strategy, combining process automation, sustainability principles and strong regional ties.
The new centre will take over all the company’s domestic logistics operations, and is equipped with advanced technological solutions, including AI-based mixed-pallet picking, automated co-packing and a fleet of autonomous, self-driving AMR trucks. Stock will employ a mixed storage model combining very-narrow aisle (VNA) high-bay racking with block stacking. The VNA racks are serviced by VNA CROWN forklifts that navigate along an induction loop. This state-of-the
-art infrastructure will boost operational flexibility and enable even faster responses to changing market needs.
Jean-Christophe Coutures, CEO of Stock Spirits Group said: “Our ambition is to create an organisation that not only anticipates market needs but also sets new operational standards. The distribution centre in Lublin is an investment in the future, that will allow us to manage the supply chain even more effectively and strengthen our position as a leader in the industry in Europe.”
Lublin: a logistics hub with potential
The decision to locate the new centre in the Lublin was a strategic one, as the city is already home to Stock’s largest production site. Located 4 km from the city centre and with direct access to the S12, S17 and S19 routes, the hub is ideally positioned to serve both domestic and global markets. It already serves countries such as Iceland, Qatar, Turkey and Taiwan. Additionally, the Lublin region provides both access to a skilled-workforce and rapidly developing infrastructure.
The Lublin Logistics Centre has been designed with sustainability in mind right from the outset. It features a 150 kWp photovoltaic installation, solar panels for heating water, a DALI automatic lighting management system, and infrastructure supporting low-emission mobility with electric car charging stations and roofed bicycle shelters. The investment will also include modern office spaces, conference rooms and rest areas for drivers. The area around the centre will be enriched by flower meadows and insect habitats, and green roofs over the docking zones. The building will meet the requirements of BREEAM “Excellent” certification and is fitted with advanced fire-protection systems that are necessary for storing high-proof spirits.
Marek Sypek, Managing Director of Stock Polska added: “The new logistics centre is a key pillar of our operational transformation strategy, combining technological innovation with environmental responsibility. The Lublin project aligns seamlessly with our long-term goals of optimising processes, reducing environmental impact, and deepening our local roots. It stands as a model example of how infrastructure development can go hand in hand with sustainable practice. We’re pleased to have the support of an experienced partner like 7R – but it is Stock’s strategy and our ambition that set the direction and drive the pace of this investment”
Cooperation based on trust
The project is being developed in cooperation with the developer 7R – a leader in sustainable warehouse and industrial space. As Magdalena Kostjan, Head of Leasing at 7R, emphasises, this is one of the largest warehouse transactions in Poland in 2025. The partnership with Stock Polska is founded on an open dialogue and a flexible approach to designing operational spaces.
