(Marchtrenk, August 22, 2016) The geobra Brandstätter Stiftung & Co. KG, manufacturer of Playmobil, is expanding their existing Playmobil distribution center in Herrieden, Germany. TGW Logistics has been appointed to design and implement a fulfillment solution for the 7.5 cm play figures.
In their new facility, Playmobil, will be handling eCommerce and retail orders. The retailer will invest 8 million Euros into the new material handling solution, which is based on a highly dynamic ASRS system (three shuttle aisles) with more than 24,000 storage locations. The items will be picked at ergonomic picking workstations, which are connected via TGW's KingDrive conveyors. The system design is based on a modular concept and can be doubled.
Georg Kirchmayr, Chief Executive Officer at TGW Logistics Group, is happy about the collaboration: "With Playmobil®, TGW could acquire a well-known traditional brand that has a strong potential for growth. We were able to convince Playmobil® with our future-proof concept and are looking forward to a successful partnership.”
