Hellmann Worldwide Logistics established a central distribution centre for Wilo in the German town of Werne roughly two years ago, and since then, the two companies have strengthened their partnership. The global logistics provider has progressively expanded its services for the manufacturer of pumps and pump systems for the building technology, water, and industrial sectors. By doubling the warehouse capacity, leased from Garbe Industrial Real Estate, the two firms are creating ideal conditions for further collaboration while also unlocking opportunities for strategic growth.
The expanded central storage facility, now covering a total of 40,000 sq m, integrates numerous strategically important operational processes for Wilo. In addition to supporting global distribution, the facility also supplies production needs for the nearby Wilo factory in Dortmund. To enhance efficiency and ensure seamless integration, other warehouse locations have been merged and consolidated in Werne over the past few years.
Hans Keeris, Senior Vice President Procurement, Supply Chain & Logistics for the Wilo Group, stated: “The consolidation of our warehouses enables significant simplification and simultaneous optimisation of the supply chain, which not only improves material flow but also enhances communication and delivery reliability for our customers.”
Volker Sauerborn, Chief Operating Officer Contract Logistics at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, commented: “We greatly value the ongoing development of our partnership with Wilo. The doubling of our warehouse capacity in Werne not only allows us to further optimise our operational services, but also provides a solid foundation for jointly implementing innovative and sustainable solutions and achieving continuous growth.”
