Gebrüder Weiss Builds New Logistics Terminal in Aldingen

Gebrüder Weiss is to build a modern logistics terminal to its supplement handling facility in Aldingen (Baden-Württemberg). Investment will amount to 3 million euros and the site is scheduled for completion in early 2017.

“We have been offering logistics solutions since 2014 and demand is constantly increasing,” says Fabian Lubitz, Branch Office Manager at Gebrüder Weiss Aldingen, in explanation of the expansion.

A modern logistics terminal with a total floor area of about 30,000 square metres is to be built by early 2017. The facility covering 3,000 square metres can accommodate a further 2,500 pallet bays and 1,500 square metres of warehouse space for especially bulky goods. “The new storage area enables us to cater more specifically for the precise needs of our customers. More and more companies want to outsource storage and concentrate solely on their production operations,” says Lubitz. The customers come mainly from the automotive, mechanical engineering, electronics and electrical sectors, as well as from the food industry.

The Swabian branch has been operating since 2013 and has direct transport routes linking it with the Gebrüder Weiss branches in Esslingen and Memmingen. Through its general cargo cooperation Cargo-Trans-Logistics (CTL), the transport specialist delivers to all destinations throughout Germany within 24 hours. Regular transports to Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy and the whole of Eastern Europe are also included in the transport services provided by Gebrüder Weiss in Aldingen. The company currently has about 60 employees at the location and, in view of the expansion of the logistics operation, is creating further jobs.
