Professor Dr. h. Cc mult. Reinhold Würth, Honorary Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Würth Group, emphasized: "The expansion of the western distribution center is an important step for us to further enhance the reliability of our logistics. With this investment, we will maintain our competitiveness and consolidate our company's position in the Hohenlohe region."

Project Launch, Upgrade of Würth Logistics Services

The launch of this logistics expansion project marks an important milestone in the logistics strategy of the Würth Group. This state-of-the-art logistics center has fully integrated various processes into the existing logistics infrastructure, thus avoiding the delivery of goods to customers in batches.

With the new distribution center, the picking and storage capacity of the Würth Group has increased by 37%. The highly automated shuttle system has more than 104,000 container storage spaces, enabling the logistics center to handle an additional approximately 48,000 orders per day. The new distribution center building is seamlessly connected to the existing logistics center through an advanced conveying system. Thomas Wahl, Managing Director and Head of Logistics at Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG, said, "Looking to the future, we have laid the foundation for continuous growth in the coming years with our logistics services."

In terms of logistics strategy development, the Würth Group has set clear goals: to achieve a 75% automation level in its highest-revenue subsidiaries by 2030. The application of artificial intelligence and robotics will help us achieve this goal, improving the automation and digitalization of the entire operational process. This advanced technology will not only ensure reliable delivery in the future but also reduce packaging and filling materials by 30%.
