Florstadt, Germany: DHL Supply Chain has expanded its life sciences & healthcare (LSH) site in Florstadt, Germany, by adding a 32,000m2 logistics centre.
The new building – which joins an existing warehouse, operated for a pharmaceutical company, and a second site that opened in January 2018 – has capacity for 10,000 pallets. A range of temperature-controlled zones – ambient, cooled and freezer areas for temperatures as low as -20°C – are available around the clock.
The building received the Gold Standard of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and features a 750kWp photovoltaic system, heat pumps and a 320m2 solar air heating system.
Rainer Haag, chief executive of DHL Supply Chain Germany and the Alps, said: “Florstadt offers outstanding opportunities for medical and pharmaceutical product suppliers thanks to the skills of our experienced and specially trained team, the strategically advantageous location in the Rhine-Main area and the availability of three temperature zones. We’re confident that our facilities and services will help our customers continue to develop and expand their business in Germany, Europe and around the world.
