en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 21, the Fricke Group (Fricke Gruppe) held an inauguration ceremony for its new logistics center in Tholey, Saarland, with a total investment of approximately €160 million, aimed at enhancing the operational capacity and expanding the production capacity of its spare parts wholesaler, Granit Parts. The facility features a highly automated internal logistics system and, once fully operational, can process up to 35,000 order items daily.

The Tholey site will operate in coordination with the existing central warehouse in Heeslingen, forming a dual-site efficient logistics system that provides additional expansion space for Granit Parts' global spare parts business. The Fricke Group stated that this layout strengthens its position in the global spare parts business and prepares it for future growth. The new logistics center features hundreds of thousands of storage locations, including approximately 16,000 manual storage slots and, after final expansion, around 335,000 automated storage slots, with about 30,000 different products already in stock.

The core of the facility is a highly automated internal logistics system, equipped with approximately 180 shuttles, conveyor technology, and interconnected processes, designed to efficiently handle customer orders. Through targeted consolidation of goods flows, the system can reduce the number of shipments per order. The Fricke Group noted that the facility is designed to be flexible and scalable to support future expansion of product ranges and service markets.

Saarland State Premier Anke Rehlinger stated that the project is a significant gain for the predominantly rural region, with approximately 200 new jobs sustainably strengthening the local economy. In the medium to long term, the Tholey site is expected to create up to 600 jobs, with around 200 in the first phase, contributing to the region's economic development.
