Opening - STAHLGRUBER increases logistics centre capacity

On 9 June 2016 the 7th expansion phase of the STAHLGRUBER logistics centre in Sulzbach-Rosenberg started operating. The extension, which comprises a partly automated goods receipt terminal and an automated small parts warehouse, will further enhance the capacity and efficiency of STAHLGRUBER. This will benefit workshops and other STAHLGRUBER customers from now on.

The extension building was inaugurated together with the company’s partners and suppliers as well as political and business representatives. This project, which strengthens STAHLGRUBER’s significant market position, was based on consistent growth and the extension of the sales territory to the whole of Germany resulting from the majority shareholding in PV Automotive.

As the time schedule was exactly kept for each of the construction phases, the 7th expansion phase of the STAHLGRUBER logistics centre started operating right on time after a construction period of only 16 months. The result is an impressive goods receipt terminal with a floor area of more than 17,000 m² and 19 goods receipt docks as well as an automated small parts warehouse with 165,000 new storage spaces. The new building is connected to the existing building by a two-storey bridge. Almost 1,000 tonnes of steel and more than 10,000 m³ of concrete were used to construct the new complex. The buildings have a total volume of 190,000 m³, more than 200 times that of a single-family home.

This is the first time for a car parts wholesaler to have almost completely automated its goods receipt operations while eliminating waiting times. The new automated small parts warehouse enables customer orders to be processed for shipment with a significant increase in speed and precision.
