In the southwest of Bochum, Logivest has brokered around 9,000 square meters of warehouse and office space for Versandmanufaktur GmbH. The landlord and owner of the property is Prologis.
Versandmanufaktur, which already operates several fulfillment centers in the Ruhr region, was looking for suitable expansion space to realize a forward-looking location. The property in Prologis Park Bochum is ideally suited to the plans of the service partner for online retail due to its location in the immediate vicinity of several large parcel centers and its equipment with several ramps.
With the new fulfillment center, the company wants to position itself for the future and thus for further expansion. The focus is clearly on an individual and innovative intralogistics solution with a high degree of automation.
“We grow by around 30% every year through cell division in various regions in Germany. Our new location in Bochum gives us breathing room until 2025. Automated processes ensure the quality and efficiency of our work and thus the future of our more than 150 employees” predicts Frank Hammermeister, one of the two managing directors of Versandmanufaktur GmbH.
“The central Ruhr area has been a logistics hotspot for years – due to its location and connections – where the search for suitable properties is often difficult. We are all the more pleased that we were able to arrange this state-of-the-art property in Bochum for Versandmanufaktur,” says Kresimir Basic, Head of Industrial and Logistics Letting at Logivest NRW GmbH.
