Ikea and FM Logistic celebrate 20 years of partnership in Central Europe

Ikea and FM Logistic have celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Ikea distribution centre in Jarosty, Poland. Operated by FM Logistic since its opening, the 157,000 m2 facility – about the size of 22 football fields – services Ikea’s branches in 12 countries, from Finland to Croatia. With a volume capacity of 200,000 cubic metres, it can store up to 300,000 pallets. More than 700 FM Logistic employees work at the Ikea facility, processing both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) orders.

The warehouse is largely heated by renewable energy sources, namely geothermal and solar. A photovoltaic plant with a capacity of 770 kWP is due to enter operation at the distribution centre this year.
