Construction work has started / 4,000 square meter logistics hall to be completed by the end of the year / Logistics expert responds to high demand for storage space
Construction work for a new logistics hall has started in the Nagelsee industrial park in the municipality of Aldingen / Baden-Wuerttemberg. The international transport and logistics company Gebrüder Weiss is leading the building project. “There is a high demand for storage space in industry and commerce. This new building will enable us to provide our customers with 4,000 square meters of additional space for their goods,” explains Yvonne Reichardt, Location Manager of Gebrüder Weiss in Aldingen.
The logistics hall is slated for completion by the end of the year. It will serve as storage and increase capacities for national and international transhipment. The total investment is 8.5 million euros. The special features of the building include a washing plant for special transport containers, so-called euro containers, as well as a rooftop photovoltaic system. The electricity produced will be used for electric stackers and pallet trucks. A heat pump and new charging stations for e-vehicles will also be provided by the logistics company for climate-friendly operations.
Some 60 employees, including six apprentices, are employed by Gebrüder Weiss at the Aldingen location. Each year, the site handles around 200,000 shipments, for customers from the engineering, automotive and construction industries, as well as electronics and metal processing. Aldingen boasts a direct connection to Gebrüder Weiss’s international transport network, with further links into Austria and Switzerland as well as Eastern Europe, the Caucasus region, and Asia.
