Commercial vehicle manufacturer opens spare parts DC
Krone has opened a new 38,000 square metres central logistics centre to meet demand for spare parts.
With an investment approaching 8.5 million Euros, the distribution centre was built in Herzlake, northern Germany.
The covered storage area of 8,400 square metres is spread across twelve levels. There is space for 17,500 Euro pallets and 16,000 containers for smaller spare parts. Currently, approx. 40 employees pick more than 23,000 orders for fast despatch every month, with all parts either despatched overnight or within a predetermined time-frame.
Moreover, the central Herzlake spare parts centre supplies key regional Krone depots in Istanbul, Budapest, Lyon, Scandinavia and the Baltic region with parts for trailers, superstructures, container chassis, semitrailers and box semitrailers, along with CEP vehicles for courier express services and in-house Krone trailer axles.
