Poland has become the 13th MR DIY market and the third in Europe, after Spain and Turkey.


Last year's debut of the company in the region of Central and Eastern Europe turned out to be a success. The opening of a logistics centre with an area of 5,000 sqm. in Hillwood Zgierz was the first step in the company's development strategy in this region. Earlier this year, in response to growing operational needs, the MR DIY has expanded its logistics center by an additional 7,106 sqm. of warehouse and office space.

"We are glad that Poland will play such an important role in the development of the MR DIY brand in Europe.

"It is a great satisfaction for us to observe how MR DIY is not only dynamically developing its retail network in Poland, but is also consistently expanding its logistics center in the Hillwood Zgierz park.
