Hellmann doubles warehouse capacity for Wilo in Germany

Since Hellmann Worldwide Logistics set up a central distribution center for Wilo in the German town Werne around two years ago, both companies have significantly strengthened their cooperation. The global logistics provider has successively expanded its operational services for the premium manufacturer of pumps and pump systems for the building technology, water, and industry sectors. By doubling the warehouse capacity, leased from Garbe Industrial Real Estate, the two corporations are creating ideal conditions for further collaboration and at the same time unlocking opportunities for strategic growth.

The central storage facility, which has been extended to a total of 40,000 square meters, links many strategically important operational processes for Wilo. In addition to supporting global distribution processes, the facility also supports the production supply for the nearby Wilo factory in Dortmund. To organize the processes even more efficiently and integrate them seamlessly, other warehouse locations have been merged and consolidated in Werne in recent years.

“The consolidation of our warehouses enables a significant simplification and simultaneous optimization of the supply chain, which not only increases the flow of materials, but also communication and delivery reliability for our customers,” says Hans Keeris, Senior Vice President Procurement, Supply Chain & Logistics for the Wilo Group.

“We are very appreciative of the continuous development of our partnership with Wilo. The doubling of our warehouse capacity in Werne not only enables us to further optimize our operational services but is also a good basis for jointly implementing innovative and sustainable solutions and continuous growth,” says Volker Sauerborn, Chief Operating Officer Contract Logistics at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
