Dachser inaugurates high-bay warehouse


The logistics provider had begun to put its new facility in Memmingen, Germany, gradually into operation over the last few months. It invested some EUR 30 million in the fully automated warehouse. Construction started in spring 2021.

 

Located within  Dachser’s Logistics Centre Allgäu, the property comprises a front building with 2,700 sqm of floor space and an adjacent high-bay warehouse that provides 7,500 sqm of logistics space. At 32 m tall, the storage facility covers only a small area but offers space for 52,000 pallets of non-chilled food and food packaging. It also features a mezzanine with 2,300 sqm of floor space for manual picking and finishing operations.

 

The Logistics Centre Allgäu is Dachser’s largest operational location worldwide. With the new facility now on stream, the family-owned company offers a total of more than 200,000 pallet spaces in Memmingen.

 

A concept for sustainable operations maximises CO2 savings. Most of the energy required to operate the high-bay warehouse is generated by a rooftop photovoltaic system with a power output of one megawatt.

 

Whenever additional electricity is needed, Dachser will procure 100% renewable hydropower and wind power from the public grid. In addition, the warehouse draws heat from the energy-efficient district heating system of a regional thermal power plant. (ben)
