en.Wedoany.com Reported - Lidl's newly built logistics center in Bietigheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, has been put into operation and will supply approximately 100 stores in the state. Philipp Dedorath, Managing Director of Logistics Real Estate at Lidl Immobilien Dienstleistung GmbH & Co. KG, and Thomas Dangelmayer, Managing Director of Internal Logistics and Transport Operations at Lidl Germany, introduced the center's functions, warehousing technology, and sustainability initiatives.

The distribution center has a capacity of nearly 32,000 Euro pallets, with a design capability to fully supply up to 100 stores. In terms of warehousing technology, the center is standardly equipped with IG+5 racks and uses dynamic pallet racks in the back area for storing half pallets. Employees operate using forklifts and picking equipment with ergonomic lifting devices.

In terms of sustainability, the logistics center was developed on a brownfield site of a former Bundeswehr equipment depot. The project involved site remediation for contamination and was completed without additional land sealing. The facility's large-scale refrigeration system uses only natural refrigerants, a 1.4 MWp photovoltaic system is installed on the roof, and overall operations are completely fossil-fuel-free. Additionally, the project created nearly 20,000 square meters of green roof and developed nearly 10,000 square meters of flower meadows in the external areas, generating a total of nearly 10,000 square meters of habitat.
