JYSK Distribution Centre

The new regional distribution centre of JYSK in Ecser, in the immediate vicinity of Budapest, was constructed by Market Építő Zrt., as the general contractor of the project.  The logistics hall was completed in 2022 as one of the largest and most significant warehouse construction projects in Hungary, with a total construction area of more than 143,000 square metres, complemented by an additional 115,000 square metres of external paved surface.

During the construction, more than 500,000 cubic metres of earth had to be moved, which posed a major organisational and logistical challenge. The main building of the centre consists of two automated high-bay warehouses, each 43 metres high, including a single-storey inbound goods zone, which are directly connected to the central automated goods distribution corridor. It is the corridor that provides the link to the single-storey hall-type outbound goods handling units.

The project included complex solutions not only in terms of industrial but also in terms of human functions: the building also accommodates offices, social and guest rooms, a boiler room, sprinkler houses, a water pumping station, as well as bicycle and motorcycle storage. The design of the facility also took into account the possibility of future expansion, in line with JYSK’s international logistics strategy.

The Ecser distribution centre has been built with sustainability in mind, contributing to the reduction of the environmental impact and the increase in the supply efficiency of the Central European region.
