790HAFELE2This investment is in line with the company’s planned expansion for the coming years and prepares the course for faster service. The existing distribution center in Nagold and the new warehouse in Lehrte, which will be starting up in the early summer of next year, are essential elements of a new, comprehensive European strategy in the logistics area of the international company.

“With this investment, we are kicking off further expansion of our services and product ranges in Germany and the neighboring European countries. We are therefore preparing ourselves for the provision of an even better and faster supply to our customers throughout Europe, and ensuring that the Häfele group will be competitive in Europe in the future,” said Managing Director Sibylle Thierer.

Both Häfele distribution centers will stock a complete product range. The Hanover distribution center will deliver to Häfele customers in northern Germany, Benelux, the Netherlands, Denmark and Scandinavia from the summer of next year. The Nagold distribution center will be responsible for southern Germany, neighboring France, Austria, Switzerland, southern and Eastern Europe and the rest of the world. Modernizations and optimizations are also planned in Nagold in the near future, as well as extensions to the warehouse. During the course of investments for the new European strategy, Häfele will be spending an amount in the two-digit millions in the coming years.

Häfele currently operates 52 logistics locations worldwide. In the 2017 financial year, the company generated sales of € 1.375 billion. Investments of € 55 million are planned for 2018.
