New site for Imperial's client Lemken
South African player Imperial Logistics has inaugurated a new multi-user logistics facility in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. It forms a network with the company’s existing multi-user business site in Herten, at a distance of about 8 km.
Patrick König will be in overall charge for both facilities. Marco Averesch, previously warehouse manager in Herten, will take over operational responsibility for the Gelsenkirchen site. The launch customer is Lemken, an international manufacturer of agricultural machinery.
Imperial will transfer Lemken’s spare part logistics operations from Herten to Gelsenkirchen. The opening of Imperial’s new multi-user facility in Germany supports its organic growth strategy, introduced in 2019, which has seen a number of investments in workforce expansion and operating infrastructure.
