What 3LP does

3LP Spółka Akcyjna is a Polish contract logistics and e-commerce fulfillment provider founded in March 2016 when TIM S.A. (a Warsaw Stock Exchange-listed electrical products distributor) spun off its internal logistics division; operations commenced on 1 July 2016. Headquartered in Siechnice in Lower Silesia, the company runs one of Poland's largest dedicated logistics footprints, with 180,000 m² of warehouse space, three sites (Siechnice headquarters, Wojkowice, and a 20,000 m² facility in Krajków within the Hillwood Wrocław Wschód II logistics park), 25,000 m² of outdoor yard, and a headcount in the 501-1,000 range.

The company's core technology stack combines proprietary and third-party automation hardware with operational software: the CUBY Shuttle System (50,000 locations, 4 pick-to-tote stations, up to 2,000 items/hour), 9 Lean Lift vertical storage racks, Crown TSP VNA forklifts on induction loops, 4,500 m of automatic telescopic conveyor belts, Packsize on-demand carton-making machines, and a customized WMS integrated with customer ERP/EDI stacks. Operations are monitored through CCTV at packing stations and a web-based dcDMS delivery management system. Reported throughput is 450,000 packages packed monthly and 12.14M lines shipped annually (customer-facing testimonials cite 11.4M lines).

3LP monetizes through managed-services contracts across four primary streams: contract logistics (long-term dedicated warehouse operations), e-commerce fulfillment (receiving, storage, pick/pack/ship, returns), buffer warehousing (continuous-flow inventory for manufacturers), and transportation/shipping with customs handling; logistics consulting is offered alongside. Pricing is quote-based, negotiated per client via dedicated account managers. The customer base is enterprise, headlined by IKEA (Parcel Unit serving all Polish channels), the parent TIM.PL (the largest Polish online electrotechnical distributor, with 3LP handling 2,000+ orders/day and 96,000+ monthly shipments), Oponeo.pl, Rotopino, Foxytech (energy meters to Tauron Dystrybucja branches), and an unnamed global freight forwarder. Verticals served include e-commerce, FMCG, fashion, home and garden, manufacturing, and B2B commerce. In June 2021, TIM S.A. announced plans for an IPO of 3LP shares to fund further development and acquisitions; the listing had not been completed as of available source material.
