Würth France will invest EUR 60 million (US$71.3 million) to modernize its Erstein logistics hub, increasing the facility’s size by 6,000 square meters and building an automated high-bay warehouse. For Würth France, this expansion is the largest investment since the company’s founding in 1967.

The optimized logistics strategy aims to increase productivity, shorten delivery times, improve order handling and create ergonomic workstations. Temporary parcel storage allows for the consolidation of customer orders in the fully automated warehouse. 

In addition to building the new annex, large parts of the existing logistics hub will be renovated.

Construction is set to start in 2022, with completion in 2024.

In the 2020 fiscal year, Würth France generated sales of EUR 576 million (US$684.6 million), with more than 4,000 employees. Web: Würth.com
