Sustainability measures at the Alsfeld central warehouse

With the construction of our new central warehouse in Alsfeld, we have created a modern logistics facility designed with energy efficiency in mind. This includes, amongst other things, photovoltaic systems, heat pump technology and energy-optimised building services. The aim is to reduce the site’s energy consumption and ensure the long-term efficiency of our logistics operations.
