PENNY's groundbreaking logistics hub: a blueprint for modern warehousing

 

PENNY România has officially inaugurated its new logistics warehouse in Mihăilești, Giurgiu county, marking a significant milestone in the country's industrial real estate sector. Representing an investment of 35 million euros, this sprawling 22,000 square meter facility is not just another storage solution but a testament to future-proof, sustainable logistics operations. For businesses exploring opportunities in warehouse rentals or commercial property development, PENNY’s latest venture offers valuable insights into what modern, efficient, and environmentally responsible industrial spaces look like.

 

Strategic location and expansive capacity

 

Located in Mihăilești, Giurgiu county, the new warehouse is strategically positioned to serve a growing network of stores, aiming to support 50 locations by the end of 2025 and an ambitious 100 by 2027. This highlights the region's increasing importance as a logistics hub within Romania. With approximately 200 employees, the center is designed for high-volume operations, featuring dedicated zones for reception, storage, and dispatch, expertly managing a diverse product chain from frozen goods and fresh meat to standard and fresh vegetables and fruits, all under meticulously controlled temperature conditions. This scale and operational sophistication demonstrate the potential for similar large-scale, versatile logistics operations in the area.

 

Pioneering sustainability in industrial real estate

 

What truly sets the Mihăilești warehouse apart is its unwavering commitment to sustainability – a key factor for businesses increasingly focused on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria. It is the first in PENNY's network to operate 100% without gas heating, relying instead on innovative solutions based on residual heat recovery and advanced heat pumps. This gas-free approach significantly reduces operational carbon footprint and offers long-term energy cost savings.

 

Further enhancing its eco-credentials, the facility boasts 800 kWp photovoltaic panels, two double electric vehicle charging stations (88 kW total), and an intelligent LED lighting system with presence sensors. An advanced Building Management System (BMS) ensures integrated energy consumption monitoring, allowing for optimized resource management. These features provide a clear blueprint for other companies looking to invest in or rent highly efficient, environmentally friendly warehouse spaces in Romania.

 

Why this matters for businesses seeking warehouse space

 

PENNY’s investment underscores the growing demand for modern, sustainable, and strategically located logistics centers in Romania. For businesses in retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, or distribution seeking to optimize their supply chains, the Mihăilești project showcases the critical elements of a top-tier warehouse: scalability, advanced operational capabilities, and, crucially, environmental responsibility. This development not only supports PENNY’s growth but also raises the bar for industrial property standards, signalling robust opportunities for businesses to find or develop similar high-quality, energy-efficient spaces within Romania's evolving logistics landscape.
