“We have extended our storage capacity because our product range is steadily growing and with it the number of the various spare parts,” says Head of Logistics Dietmar Düsing.
The decision to extend the logistics centre alongside the A2 autobahn with a new high-bay warehouse was made in summer 2018. “The new building covers an area of approx. 11,700 sq. m and is nearly 30m height to accommodate a fully automatic high rack system which now provides enough space for around 58,000 pallets,” says project manager Sven Wagner, describing the dimensions of the extension. For the floor more than 360 lorry loads of concrete were delivered. The steel structure used 1,800 tons of steel and more than 400,000 bolts were required.
