MANNOL opens new logistics center in Braunschweig

MANNOL Expands Distribution with New Logistics Center in Braunschweig

• Central hub for over 2,000 product variants
• State-of-the-art facility with 8,900 pallet spaces on 7,000 m² of logistics area
• Automated processes for fast shipping and high delivery capability

MANNOL has expanded its global distribution network with the opening of a new logistics center in Braunschweig. This center complements the existing logistics facility at the headquarters in Wedel near Hamburg and serves as a central point for the distribution of MANNOL products in Central and Southern Germany.

The new facility offers space for more than 8,900 pallet spaces across an area of approximately 7,000 square meters. The technical infrastructure has been specifically tailored to MANNOL’s requirements and includes automated processes, digital booking systems, and integrated handling of dropshipping orders. A newly developed, scalable packing station further accelerates shipping processes, allowing customer orders to be processed efficiently and just-in-time.

Konstantin Gaab, Managing Director of MANNOL / SCT Germany, commented on the new location: “With the new site in Braunschweig, we are strengthening our sales structures and getting closer to our customers in Central and Southern Germany. We are particularly proud of the speed with which the project was implemented and the commitment of our team on-site.”

The logistics center began operations in the summer of 2025. After a successful ramp-up phase, up to 15 trucks for the large customer business can be loaded and unloaded daily. The five-story shelving systems permanently hold over 2,000 different product variants, including engine and transmission oils, as well as various operating fluids and specialty products for industry and trade.

With the opening of the new location, MANNOL has created 15 jobs in the region, with the prospect of expanding the team to up to 35 employees as growth continues. The team consists of specialists in warehouse logistics, order picking, and shipping. Additionally, MANNOL offers training opportunities in warehouse logistics on-site, contributing to the retention of skilled workers in the region.

The decision for the location in Braunschweig was made due to its central position and optimal transport connections in the Querumer Forst industrial park, near Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport. Important sales areas are quickly accessible via the nearby A2 motorway. There is also an efficient logistical connection to the MANNOL headquarters in Wedel and to the production facilities in Lithuania. Braunschweig, as a traditional automotive region, also provides access to qualified professionals and creates the best conditions for further growth.

Juri Sudheimer, founder and owner of MANNOL / SCT, emphasized: “The new logistics center combines state-of-the-art technology with practical processes – an important foundation for further growth and even more reliable delivery to our partners. This enables us to respond even better to the needs of our customers.”
