“Our aim is to be close to our customers, offer them professional advice and provide them with tailored materials and supply chain solutions,” said Ilse Henne, CEO of thyssenkrupp Schulte. “Located strategically between Bremen, Hanover and Hamburg, Rotenburg offers the ideal conditions for this.” Existing warehouses in Hamburg and Bremen will be integrated into the new site in Rotenburg. By offering all articles from one location, thyssenkrupp Schulte will be able to guarantee maximum material availability and serve its customers even more efficiently. State-of-the-art processing equipment and digital integration will ensure flexible and perfectly coordinated logistics processes and services.
“The new site is a further important element in our growth strategy,” said Joachim Limberg, CEO of thyssenkrupp Materials Services. “The new logistics center will underline our ambition to be the best possible partner to our customers: We guarantee the reliability and quick availability of our products so that our customers can concentrate on their core business.”
The town of Rotenburg/Wümme also supports the company’s aims: "We are pleased that the negotiations with thyssenkrupp Schulte, the property owners, EVB and the Bundeswehr administration were successful," said Rotenburg’s mayor Andreas Weber. "This perhaps somewhat unusual settlement of such a company will also further advance Rotenburg as an efficient medium-sized center. I would like to thank everyone involved".
