Year after year, Lower Silesia continues to strengthen its position as one of the most important points on the logistics map of both Poland and Europe as a whole. Its strategic location at the crossroads of key transport routes, in close proximity to Germany and the Czech Republic, makes the region a natural distribution hub, gaining importance in servicing international supply chains and aligning with the nearshoring trend. Lower Silesia attracts international investments, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities, while efficiently serving multiple markets simultaneously. According to the latest estimates from Statistics Poland (GUS), Lower Silesia accounts for over 8% of the national GDP and ranks among the five regions generating more than half of Poland’s total economic output.
The region’s dynamic economic growth, driven by investments in key industrial sectors, further strengthens its logistics potential. Lower Silesia is a major hub for the automotive, electronics, and packaging industries. The presence of global brands such as Toyota, LG Energy Solution, and Bosch, as well as recent investments by e-commerce giants like Shein, confirm the region’s attractiveness and generate growing demand for logistics services tailored to specific industry needs.
The foundation of Lower Silesia’s increasing attractiveness lies in its location, which from a logistics perspective makes the region a natural distribution and warehousing hub for Central Europe. Wrocław’s location enables efficient service of the Polish market as well as operations towards the Czech and German markets. At Rohlig SUUS Logistics, we leverage these advantages by operating, among other services, daily less-than-truckload (LTL) connections on the Wrocław–Prague route. Our branch also handles daily LTL shipments to the German market. From the logistics industry’s perspective, a key factor in further strengthening this role is the continued modernization of road infrastructure both within the region and in neighboring countries, including the Czech Republic. This will further streamline transport operations and enhance the region’s competitiveness in the future. An important complement to the transport infrastructure is Wrocław Airport, which is playing an increasingly significant role in cargo handling. Last year, it handled more than 11,700 tons of freight, reinforcing the region’s position in global supply chains.
