Construction started on the new logistics centre last summer in Taufkirchen an der Trattnach – very close to the company’s Grieskirchen headquarters in Austria. The modern 7,000 sqm logistics centre is being built on approximately 3 hectares of ground and it began operating in spring this year
The centre is the logistics hub for dispatching consignments worldwide. It has a fully automated small parts warehouse with 31,000 bins as well as a mechanised pallet rack system with 5,500 pallets and spaces for 2,200 bulky articles. A total of around 50,000 Original spares and wear parts – from the smallest gasket through to complete implement frames – are kept in stock: up to 800 customer orders will be processed every day and 3.5 million different articles dispatched every year.
The new logistics centre features the highest energy efficiency. The heat pump is linked to the sprinkler basin and the building can be climate controlled using ventilation and building component activation. Energy-saving LED lighting is used throughout as an integral part of the sustainability concept.
“With this highly advanced logistics centre we will be setting a new standard in terms of efficient and flexible spare parts supply,” says Managing Director Heinz Pöttinger: “First class parts quality and a worldwide service network now go without saying. As a result we are able to provide our customers with an optimum supply of spare parts as quickly as possible.”
