Homogeneous warehousing solutions

From warehousing logistics, through automation, right down to special tasks, our team of experts ensures a smooth movement of materials – irrespective of whether this concerns the transport of stainless steel, aluminium, quality steel, plastic or wood.

Your requirements are our challenges

Our engineers and business experts repeatedly develop new and individual material paths with state-of-the-art technology. Each solution is unique in itself. Because after all, every customer is unique too.

Safety first in the warehouse

We bear the responsibility for the proper functioning of all of the systems we develop or redesign. Operational safety takes priority, from the very first to the very last screw. This responsibility forms the basis on which our numerous long-standing customer relationships are based.
