The new logistics centre consists of a 7 000 m² hall and a second, intermediate building with over 800 m², which is  connected right to the assembly plant. The logistics centre has capacities for the storage of 7 200 webs and belt and also has a so-called "block warehouse" with a storage area of 3 000 m². The products can now be stored regardless of weather conditions and the logistics processes can be significantly simplified, resulting in improved delivery capacity, especially during the peak season.

The intermediate building serves mainly as a point of transhipment for all material movements. The location of the transshipment centre allows more efficient and optimised processes for supplying production, for storage and retrieval and for preparation for shipping. This creates new open spaces in the assembly building, which are available to increase capacity and support new projects.

"Within one year we succeeded in planning and implementing the whole project. All parties involved cooperated in a perfect way, so that we were able to put the logistics centre into operation already in January of this year", states Felix Lingens, managing director of RICON.
