Tailor Your Business in Lodz 2023

LOGISTICS AND PRODUCTION TESTIMONIALS L ast year marked the 20th anniversary of Media Expert on the Polish market. In the last two decades we have grown into a leader in electronics and home appliances in Poland with more than 550 stores in 440 cities. Despite undeniable headwinds facing Polish and European companies, we have enjoyed strong growth in recent years. The pandemic, followed by the armed conflict in Ukraine, which continues to send ripple effects across key economic indicators, further motivated the company’s officers to adopt a bold but responsible approach to building its value. Our strategy included infrastructure investments to enhance the quality of customer service. Modern warehouses and logistics solutions, as well as the expansion of our fleet to include zero emission vehicles have translated directly into optimized omnichannel retailing which is key to us. Today, the effects of these measures are appreciated not only by customers but also by a wider business community, as best evidenced by the Best Omnichannel Brand award for Media Expert in the international Best Brands Awards competition, organized in Poland for the first time. Without a doubt, our presence in Łódź distribution centres is fundamental to achieving our objectives of optimizing our supply chain and cutting online order fulfilment times. The Central European Hub (CEH) and the distribution centre in Zakładowa Street are among the most modern facilities of this kind in our country. Last year saw the completion of the last phase of the CEH project, which brought our total warehouse footprint in Łódź to over 320,000 sq m. It consists of five buildings with advanced warehouse automation systems, conveyors, innovative parcel sorting technologies, mobile racking and put-to-light stations. These locations have created nearly 2,000 jobs. An important factor that influenced our decision to strengthen our presence in these distribution centres was their prime location near key motorway junctions enabling fast and safe deliveries to both online shoppers and to each of our 550+ stores. Key to efficient delivery logistics is also the presence of the central sorting facilities of leading courier firms in Łódź and in its immediate vicinity, which makes for even more efficient order fulfilment by offering 24 hour delivery services. Media Expert has been present in Łódź warehouse and logistics centres for over a decade. The positive business climate here has also been instrumental in our decision to remain here for many years and to launch new projects. Those behind it perfectly understand today’s needs and challenges of companies aiming to improve their competitiveness and to build relationships with end customers through a high service quality and reliable deliveries.
