Omni Channel Logistics: A Game Changer for Engelbert Strauss

Founded in 1948, Engelbert Strauss has grown from a small family business to a global leader in workwear. Known for durable and comfortable products, the company now serves corporate clients, tradespeople, and DIY enthusiasts worldwide. This growth demanded a scalable logistics solution, so they partnered with TGW Logistics to revolutionise operations at their CI Factory in Schlüchtern, Germany. 

Challenges

  • Unpredictable Orders: Adapting to fluctuating demand, from split-case orders to bulk retailer shipments.
  • Return Processing: Speeding up returned goods handling to make them ready for re-picking.
  • Scaling Capacity: Addressing the need for a larger, highly automated fashion warehouse.
  • Labor Optimisation: Reducing manual labor while enhancing efficiency.
