TGW Logistics hands over highly automated fulfillment center to INTERSPORT

(Marchtrenk, Austria, April 30, 2025). In January 2025, INTERSPORT Austria and TGW Logistics signed the final acceptance of a highly-automated intralogistics system in Wels, Austria. With this powerful fulfillment center, the sporting goods retailer has consolidated multiple smaller logistics locations at its Austrian headquarters. Automation constitutes the key lever for boosting performance, increasing the flexibility of the processes and ensuring fast, dependable delivery.

INTERSPORT Austria is Austria's most important player in the sporting goods trade and serves roughly 1.8 million customers. Moreover, the group of associated companies serves as the headquarters for three neighboring countries, making it responsible for the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary markets. The company employs 3,600 people and represents an important economic force in Austria and the partner countries.

TGW Logistics as a competent, proactive partner

"INTERSPORT has enjoyed solid growth in the last decades, and of course our logistics system has had to evolve with that corporate growth. Given the demands placed on us, centralization only made sense in combination with automation. That is the only way to cover the varying needs at the point of sale (POS) on a daily basis," explains Günther Junkowitsch, Head of Supply Chain Management at INTERSPORT Austria. “Over the course of our evaluation project, we came to know TGW Logistics as a very competent and above all proactive partner that listened attentively to our needs and then worked with us to develop a solution.”
