Tokić d.d. has signed an agreement with Logis Helena d.o.o. for the long-term lease of a new highly automated logistics and distribution center, completing the previously announced process of selecting a strategic logistics solution and new location.
The new logistics and distribution center is located in the Sveta Helena Business Zone, in Sveti Ivan Zelina, near Zagreb. It covers a total area of 40,000 m², and its location enables exceptional connectivity and distribution efficiency toward Croatia, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, and the markets of Southeast Europe. The location and infrastructure of the facility fully support the development needs of the Tokić Group, a regional leader in the distribution of auto parts and tires with more than 120 sales locations and 1,400 employees in Croatia and Slovenia, where it operates under the Bartog brand.
The choice of a long-term, 15-year lease, in addition to operational advantages and increased efficiency, also ensures the Tokić Group a faster start of operations along with a higher level of profitability. Operational activity at the new location is expected to begin in 2027. The project is being developed in cooperation with Logis Helena d.o.o., part of the Logis One platform of the international investment group IAD Investments, which specializes in the development of modern logistics and industrial real estate in Central and Eastern Europe. IAD Investments is carrying out the project through its local partner, Promat Projekti d.o.o.
As one of the logistics leaders in the automotive aftermarket industry, the Tokić Group today manages large logistics centers in Sesvete and Mirna Peč in Slovenia, and was among the first in the region to test autonomous robots in warehouse processes back in 2018. Tokić therefore enters the new logistics and distribution center with rich experience and clearly defined requirements, and the facility is designed for a high degree of automation, supported by artificial intelligence and the implementation of state-of-the-art warehouse management systems, which will further increase the productivity of logistics operations.
By signing the agreement, Tokić continues the implementation of the investment cycle announced at the time of its listing on the Zagreb Stock Exchange. Funds raised through the initial public offering of shares are being directed toward automation, equipping the new center, and further strengthening the infrastructure that will support the Group’s future growth. Such investments directly improve service quality as well, primarily through the speed and precision of support to service centers and business partners, and also through the everyday mobility of millions of drivers in the region — for whom Tokić, through its inventory, sales network, and logistics, ensures safety on the move and in business.
