Online fashion retail leader to open automated DC

The green-field development has a particular emphasis on sustainability, and is designed to strengthen Zalando's supply chain and accommodate the company's continued growth. Zalando’s revenues increased by over 20% year-on-year in its 1Q16 results. 

The TGW solution, valued at several million Euros, comprises a TGW Stingray shuttle warehouse, over nine kilometres of conveyor equipment and a picking warehouse, where the ordered Zalando goods will be prepared for shipping. 

Markus Augeneder, managing director of TGW Systems Integration in Wels says: "Sustainability has been at the heart of the design and will be achieved through the use of TGW Commander Controls and an intelligent energy management system. Furthermore, our post-installation service package will ensure Zalando's new centre runs smoothly and remains up-to-date after commissioning."

“One of the most important drivers for the TGW business is online retail,” explains Georg Kirchmayr, president of TGW Logistics Group. “We have a comprehensive knowledge of the e-commerce challenges facing our customers. Working closely with them, we use that knowledge along with our experience and expertise to provide them with the optimum logistics solution for their business - both for today and for tomorrow.”
