“Prologis Park Prague-Uzice is an efficient, cost-effective site that is strategically located on the D8 highway. The recent improvements to the road network around Prague, combined with Prologis’ exceptional property management services further strengthen the park’s proposition as a valuable logistics centre,” says Martin Polák, Prologis vice president and market officer for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

“The ongoing reconfiguration of our customers’ supply chains has led to Uzice emerging as a key logistics location in the Czech Republic. These two large transactions demonstrate Prologis was right to invest in the site, while reinforcing our strong position in the Czech market. We are delighted to welcome Thimm Obaly and VF Czech Services, and look forward to working together to ensure their space meets their evolving needs.”
