The new center will be equipped with advanced automation technologies, including a highly automated workshop for the production of small parts. A storage system (170,000 container storage spaces), 50,000 pallet spaces, and advanced solutions for handling bulky cargo and hazardous materials. NORDWEST is also investing in next-generation packaging and robotics to ensure efficiency, scalability, and sustainability. The facility must receive a DGNB gold certificate for sustainable construction.
The Alsfeld logistics center, capable of handling up to 11,000 cartons and 1,000 pallets per day, will provide NORDWEST partners with higher productivity, product availability and cost-effective services. Work will begin in stages from 2026, and the full commissioning of all automated systems is scheduled for early 2027.
