The warehouse section at Panattoni Park Kalisz at ul. Rozwojowa 1, is a modern operating area, characterized by easy access to the docks and access directly from the square.

The hall is situated 5 km from the center of Kalisz, near the city's beltway and national roads no. 25 and no. 12, which ensures convenient road transport.
