Körber modernizes and expands the logistics of Printus in Offenburg

With its efficient logistics, Printus delivers orders from a range of over 100,000 office items within 24 hours. To further expand this key competence in a dynamic market environment, the company is investing in the Offenburg location. As part of an investment of more than 200 million euros in the new central logistics center, Printus is creating around 53,000 square meters of additional logistics space and modernizing essential parts of the existing facility.

Körber is the general contractor for automation, mechanics, and software in the ongoing project. As a long-standing partner of Printus, who already modernized the entire shipping area in Offenburg in 2020, Körber relies on a multi-stage concept of new construction and modernization measures. This allows for nearly uninterrupted parallel operation between the existing and new facilities. The retrofit work is carried out during ongoing operations, and the modifications are scheduled in such a way that the availability of logistics is ensured at all times without any restrictions. "Together with Printus, Körber is implementing a powerful, scalable, and future-oriented logistics solution while operations continue without interruption," says Dr. Helena Garriga, a member of the Körber Group Executive Board responsible for the Supply Chain business unit.

Highly Automated Intralogistics for the New Logistics Center

The new automated logistics center will feature a powerful shuttle storage system, workstations for order picking on three levels, and a highly automated packaging area. The sections will be connected by a high-performance conveyor system with a total length of several kilometers. Furthermore, Körber is integrating its own new electric crossbelt sorters (type "Variosort") and modern lifting beam devices from its own portfolio; the conversion of existing equipment in stock is planned. The project was preceded by an intensive, multi-year planning phase. "With Körber's support, we will have one of the most modern and innovative distribution centers in Europe," said Dietmar Mahler, Managing Director of Printus Logistik GmbH.
