Gebruder Weiss expands near Budapest

The company is creating additional storage capacity.
In future all Home Delivery services for the greater Budapest area will be bundled from there. The investment  spend is around EUR25 million. 

"The expansion in Budapest offers room for further growth in the future. 

"Increasing industrial production, especially in the automotive and electrical sectors, means that demand for transport and logistics services is expected to increase in the coming years," explained Wolfram Senger-Weiss, ceo of Gebrüder Weiss.

"Today, our country-wide organisation in Hungary is a pioneer in automation and sustainable transport."

The existing logistics facility was also modernised as part of this work, with inbound storage, material flow and picking now largely automated using the new AutoStore system. The goods are stored in plastic containers stacked in a frame system. Robots transport the containers to work stations where the goods are picked for shipping.
