The 658,051 sq ft distribution centre will be located in Sulechów, Western Poland. This facility will help to supply products to TK Maxx shops in Poland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. “Thanks to its strategic location in the centre of Europe, Poland has increasingly become a hub for companies’ operations across the continent. That benefits especially the western part of the country, thanks to the proximity to the German border and it attracts leaders from various industries, as an ideal location for development even during a pandemic”. She added: “We are pleased that TJX Europe keeps investing and growing successfully, and that they have chosen us as an important partner in this development,” commented Dorota Jagodzinska, Managing Director at Panattoni. Tailor-made project. On 57 acres of land Panattoni will execute a strategic investment for TJX Europe. It will be a processing centre supporting to supply products in Poland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. The BTS facility of 358,051 sq ft – of which 60,751 sq ft will be occupied by rooms for personnel and offices – is being built in Western Poland, in Sulechów – 13 miles from Zielona Góra. The investment will be ready by autumn\winter 2022\2023. It will include an attractive new landscaped area, be self-contained with full security fence. The Sulechów facility will be the company’s sixth distribution centre in Europe. “Western Poland is a dynamically growing region that attracts many investors from Poland and abroad thanks to its advanced road network, vicinity to Germany and Western Europe and its large pool of high-skilled labour. We are extremely happy to have supported TJX Europe on their development of this strategic regional distribution centre in Poland,” said Tom Listowski, Partner, Head of Industrial and Warehouse, Central and Eastern Europe, Cresa. Tailoring to measure. The BTS project for TJX Europe is another investment implemented by Panattoni for the apparel sector. Like a tailor, the developer tailors a facility to the client’s needs – like a clothing constructor, Panattoni thoroughly analyses the needs, constructs and¬ finally creates a custom design. These individual solutions are determined by a complex supply chain system with a constant flows of goods for new models or by an increasingly complex supply management process. Most of these services are no longer performed in stores but in distribution centres, and Panattoni, as an experienced developer, supports its clients in implementing such investments.

An industrial box is used in different machines in the industry. It is a mechanical device that transfers energy from one machine to another. The industrial gearbox is used to reduce the speed of the motor and increase its torque rotation. It is made up of steel and placed on the engine’s pole and Depending on the machine’s internal composition. The gearbox is very important for industries; a breakdown during work affects the whole industry, so it needs immediate repair. Many gearbox repair companies’ give 24/7 services to satisfy their clients. Industrial gearboxes are made up of steel, but some gearbox manufacturer companies made plastic gearboxes, For example, spur models. There are different types of the industrial gearbox which are used in various types of machine in industries. Like Skew bevel helical gearboxes, coaxial helical line, Bevel helical gearboxes, Worm reduction gearboxes, helical gearboxes, planetary gearboxes. These are some gearboxes, which are mostly used in industries. There are two primary types of industrial gearbox. First is the straight gearbox, which has straight teeth and it is used for low-speed machines, and also it is very rowdy. Another one is the helical gearbox is combining like a riddle. They are used in high-speed appliances and too silent as compared to a straight gearbox. In the industries where the industrial gearbox is mainly mostly as under: Cement industry: In the cement industry, a bevel helical gearbox is used because high torque machines are needed. And bevel helical gearbox has all those functions like reduction in speed and or engine expansion. Paper industry: gearboxes are also used in the paper industry because they need smooth and slung working, and gearboxes are efficient. Sugar industry: In the sugar industry, planetary and helical gearboxes are used because many heavy machines work. Steel industry: in the steel industry, different types of powerful and heavy machines are used like planetary, pinion, and gearboxes. Some factors are essential for the industrial gearbox. Gear ratio: gearbox ratio is the ratio of the number of gears and teeth present in the gearbox. There are two types of equipment currently in the gearbox. And both have their teeth. We can easily calculate the gear ratio by following the step, which is as under first of all separate gears and then counts their teeth if one gear has ten teeth and the other has 20 teeth then the ratio will be one is to 2. Output torque: In the gearbox, speed and torque are inversely proportional with each other if torque is high, then the speed of the machine will low. If you need the output of torque is high, then you need more gear ratio. Load distribution: if you want a gearbox first, you have to find out how much weight the gearbox has to support because if your gearbox bears heavyweight, then it can miss the place from its alignment, which is not suitable for your machine. The industrial gearbox is an essential part of an industry. Without it, the machine will not work accurately; if there is an issue in the gearbox, the device will not function properly, which gives massive loss to the industry and provides enormous devastation to human life. If you want to save your time and machine, you have to give your gearbox adequate care. If you want your gearbox to work for years, you have to take care of oil lubricant frequently because oil is essential for the gearbox to work in continuity. If the oil level is low, it gives you expensive consequences because your gearbox will fail badly, and if you go to repair it will make it costly. If your gearbox is not properly lubricated, it causes many problems in the gearbox, like the gearbox’s surface is damaged. Oil saves the gearbox’s surface from stress and temperature, increasing because of the machine’s speed. Oil lubrication is important because it protects the gearbox’s surface from distress and keeps the internal parts of the machine cool and maintained. For your industrial gearbox’s safety, you have to check the oil level daily; if you feel it is low, and then increase its level.

Regional contractor G F Tomlinson has commenced works on a new 65,000 sq. ft. warehouse at Wakefield Hub for Newmarket Lane Ltd, a joint venture between developers HBD and Yorkcourt. Expected for completion by the end of summer 2021, the £6.4m scheme is being constructed at the Wakefield Hub industrial and logistics development for end user H B Clark, which is part of the Kitwave Wholesale Group. Delivered to a fast-track programme, G F Tomlinson is undertaking the design and construction of the 65,000 sq. ft. purpose-built warehouse, which also includes ancillary office space, to accommodate Kitwave’s expansion plans within the region. “We’re delighted to be delivering this high-quality warehouse unit for Newmarket Lane Ltd. We have previously worked with HBD on the construction of three units at the flagship Markham Vale development, so it’s a pleasure to be working with them once again and with developer Yorkcourt for the first time,” said Andrew Sewards, managing director at G F Tomlinson. “We have extensive experience in the warehouse and logistics sector and are pleased to be expanding this into more geographical regions. We’re currently in the early stages of works which are progressing very well, and we look forward to handing over the project once complete in the summer.” The unit is being constructed to a BREEAM Very Good standard and the site will also feature an 80-space car park and 24-space lorry park. The infrastructure works will include an extension to the existing highway with new street lighting and pavements, along with a new service yard. Located on Newmarket Lane, Wakefield, the new warehouse unit will employ up to 130 full and part time staff and boasts excellent transport links being in close proximity to the M1, A1 and M62. This is the second scheme to be built at the 200-acre Wakefield Hub development. “We’re pleased to be able to welcome Kitwave to Wakefield Hub and look forward to seeing their bespoke premises take shape,” added Simon Ross, development surveyor at HBD. “The interest in Wakefield Hub is a real vote of confidence in the city as a place to invest. One of the largest regeneration projects of its kind in the North of England, the scheme will bring a significant number of jobs to the area and inject millions in inward investment.” G F Tomlinson has worked on a number of high-profile industrial units over the last few years, and most recently it handed over five new industrial units at Ashroyd Business Park, Barnsley, for developer Network Space.

Completing the world’s first zero-emissions harvest of a Barolo cru, and celebrating 2025 by opening the first 100% sustainable bottle of the highly prized King of Wines: these are the aims of the partnership between FPT Industrial and Fontanafredda presented at a digital press conference today.  The global challenge of energy transition demands not only widely shared solutions on a large scale, but also targeted actions in specialist sectors, which must be able both to deliver concrete results and to attract the interest of a broader public, through the high intrinsic value of the projects themselves. Both can be achieved by projects involving partners with a long-standing commitment to environmental accountability. Implementing these guidelines, a core part of its brand identity from the outset, FPT Industrial, the global powertrain brand of CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI), and the world’s largest producer of low environmental impact engines, has joined forces with Fontanafredda, the historic winery founded by Vittorio Emanuele I, the first King of Italy, in 1858. The heart of the partnership is the supply of two New Holland TK Methane Power crawler vineyard tractors with biomethane-fueled FPT Industrial F28 Natural Gas engines, which will work in the Vigna La Rosa cru that produces the grapes for the legendary Barolo of the same name, a wine which has been included in the Wine Spectator Top 100 of the world’s best wines. Recently awarded the title of “Engine of the year 2020” for its modular, multi-propulsion approach, the FPT Industrial F28 engine is designed to be compact, productive and environment-friendly. In fact, it ticks all the boxes in terms of power, performance and low environmental impact for specialized applications such as orchard and vineyard tractors where compactness and small overall dimensions are an essential requirement. The F28 is able to operate on diesel or natural gas and is hybrid-ready. The biomethane model designed for Fontanafredda was developed on the basis of a New Holland Agriculture crawler vineyard tractor. It can provide a power output of 75 hp with peak torque of 330 Nm and therefore ensures, in complete safety, performance which is absolutely identical to that of its diesel equivalent, even when working on the steepest slopes and on the slippery terrain typical of the finest vineyards in Italy’s Langhe wine-growing region. This is all with a zero-carbon footprint, as the biomethane that powers the engine is not a fossil fuel, but is produced by the anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste. Fontanafredda has a long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability, both on the land, by implementing organic growing methods, and in the cellar, through the use of autochthonous yeasts. In 2020 these decades of evolution culminated in a fresh perspective: the Green Renaissance. The new Renaissance will create a great global community, united around respect for the land, which will also be expressed through respect for people. These values have led to the “greening” of all daily procedures, from the reuse of water to the choice of healthy, natural, environment-friendly packaging, and the use of clean energy for the Village inside Fontanafredda the farmstead. Thanks to FPT Industrial, from the 2021 vintage onwards, mobility in the vineyard has also become sustainable. The arrival of biomethane-fueled tractors will enable Fontanafredda to cut vineyard emissions to zero and make growing operations ever more sustainable.

Panattoni, the largest industrial developer in Europe, is set to start work on the second phase of its 1.6 million sq ft industrial park in Northampton. Panattoni Park Northampton is already the home to three former Panattoni buildings and will see further units delivered at 250,000 sq ft, 380,000 sq ft and 430,000 sq ft, totalling over another 1 million sq ft at the park. The second phase of development at the Park comes after Panattoni successfully speculatively developed and let 625,000 sq ft of space to Eddie Stobart Logistics. Winvic Construction Ltd have begun construction on the three new spec units will be developed over two phases, the first being units 250,000 sq ft and 430,000 sq ft with steels emerging in the coming weeks. Finally, the 380,000 sq ft which will commence later in 2021.  “We’re delighted to be continuing the development of 1 million sq ft in Northampton, after only recently completing the three units for Eddie Stobart. This shows that Panattoni has the confidence to deliver speculatively, knowing that the market needs more space,” said Oliver Bertram, Development Director at Panattoni. “This park gives businesses an ideal base to serve key markets across the UK, with direct access to the country’s major motorways. Market interest remains high in this area and we are committed to providing the right spaces for businesses to expand their operations. The new units at Panattoni Park Northampton will do just that.”  Each will benefit from the same prominent location based on junction 16 of the M1 motorway, which will see tens of thousands of cars pass the occupiers’ logos each day. All three units will be built to 15m clear internal height and benefit from 50m yards. Northampton sits in the so-called ‘logistics golden triangle’, considered to be the UK’s most strategically important location for distribution. Panattoni Park Northampton is only 20 miles from the M6 and A14.   The completed buildings will be built to a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’ and have an ‘A+’ EPC rating. Local services have been improved on site as part of the development, with the Red Lion Truck Stop parking area being expanded to accommodate more vehicles, as well as an HGV filling station being added to the existing set of pumps. The section 278 road that leads to the truck stop and main development has also been improved to give better access to the motorway. Once fully occupied, the development could support over 1000 jobs.  “This next phase of development in Northampton demonstrates the success of our high-level business strategy in the UK and the speed and scale at which we work. There are limited opportunities in the UK that will deliver a 1 million sq ft spec option and it’s an important build for industry as a whole and one that we anticipate will soon be let quickly,” added Matthew Byrom, Managing Director at Panattoni.
