DP World has been chosen by BMW Group to manage a new logistics facility in Ostrava, reinforcing the region’s growing role as a strategic automotive and logistics hub in Central Europe. The operation will create up to 750 new jobs in the region.

The logistics hub, located within the Ostrava Airport Multimodal Park, is the home of DP World’s newest automotive centre in Central Europe, and its first in Czechia. Across more than 120,000m2 of warehouse space, DP World will provide an integrated solution for BMW Group including all inbound, storage and outbound logistics. The strategic location of the new warehouse, at the heart of Central Europe’s logistics corridor, will maximise operational efficiency and reliability.

This significant investment demonstrates DP World’s commitment to the automotive industry in Czechia, driving further growth in the domestic and regional market, and strengthening its extensive footprint in automotive logistics across Europe. The project is the latest in DP World’s strong partnership with BMW Group, and follows the recent opening of BMW Group’s new manufacturing plant in Debrecen, Hungary, where DP World was also chosen to deliver integrated logistics operations.

Tobias Fenzl, Global Account Director, DP World, said: “At DP World we firmly believe in the strength and potential of the European automotive industry, and this significant investment in Ostrava reaffirms our commitment. The new site extends our long-standing partnership with BMW Group and underlines the quality of our global logistics solutions.”

Robert Sgariboldi, Country Manager, Czechia, DP World, said: “This investment is a huge vote of confidence in the Czech logistics market. From contract logistics to freight forwarding, DP World is building an industry-leading logistics offering. This project, which will create over 750 jobs, represents a key milestone for DP World in Czechia and is a further statement of our capabilities in the region.”

The new facility further demonstrates how DP World supports automotive customers as part of a wider, globally connected network. DP World works with leading automotive OEMs and Tier One suppliers across key production, transit and end markets worldwide, delivering end-to-end solutions across the automotive value chain. Supported by a global asset footprint, standardised operating models and deep automotive logistics expertise, DP World enables automotive customers to scale efficiently while maintaining consistency, quality and visibility across regions.
