Modern, flexible and fast

Our entire logistics operations have been modernised and optimised in recent years. In this way, we are making our contribution to being able to cope with the increasing demands for sustainability and are thus positioned for the future. 

Warehouse management software
A highly complex warehouse management software (WMS) serves as the interface between our merchandise management system and logistics. The more than 10,000 square metres of storage space capacity are optimally utilised with the help of a two-dimensional barcode system. This results in optimised walking and driving routes during order picking. In order to be able to react to the increasing number of incoming orders and to be able to serve them as usual in the future, the entire process, from order entry to dispatch, has thus been considerably improved.

AutoStore
The innovative AutoStore system for automatic storage and order picking allows us to make the best possible use of our existing storage space. Via a rail system (grid), the totes are picked by high-speed robots, sorted within the AutoStore and delivered to the appropriate workstation for incoming or outgoing goods. This space-saving logistics solution reduces the space required by about 75% compared to the previous conventional storage. At the same time - in addition to all the advantages within the logistics processes - the system is also very energy-efficient.

Expansion of logistics and administration

The new logistics centre at the company headquarters in Bedburg has made it possible to improve our partners' high demands on delivery times and availability. A modern new building with storage and office space with 10,500 pallet spaces, a representative showroom as well as a laboratory for product testing was built on a plot of land of approx. 11,400 sqm.
