Willenbrock conveyor technology as one unit

For the future orientation of the Willenbrock Group, all companies were merged into one company and now operate under the new name Willenbrock Fördertechnik GmbH.

With this integration, Willenbrock is strengthening its position as a network partner of Linde Material Handling and pooling its expertise in order to operate even more efficiently, flexibly and effectively. The company is constantly developing its product and service portfolio at its sites in Bremen, Burgwedel and Braunschweig.

In its sixty-year history, Willenbrock has established itself as one of the leading dealers for intralogistics solutions on the German market. In its sales area from the Harz Mountains to the North Sea coast, the authorized dealer of Linde Material Handling offers a comprehensive range of forklift trucks and warehouse trucks as well as a range of services along the entire internal material flow. Willenbrock has bundled its competencies in one company in order to focus even more strongly on the constantly evolving customer requirements in the future. The four companies became Willenbrock Fördertechnik GmbH with effect from January 1, 2023. All contractual relationships with customers and suppliers will be continued unchanged by the new company.

The new Willenbrock site offers jobs for 140 employees and has an administration building of 3,000 square meters as well as a 10,000 square meter hall area for product exhibition, storage and workshop. © Willenbrock

"By bundling into one company, we have taken an important step towards making ourselves fit for the future," says Ulrike Meyer, Managing Director of Willenbrock. "Standardized processes and centralized access to resources create scope that we can use to continuously expand our range of services in line with market developments. Our customers benefit from a broader range of innovative solutions and services that are tailored to the current requirements of intralogistics. These include, for example, the digitalization of processes, the automation of material flows and the use of sustainable energy systems."

New company headquarters in Burgwedel

The company is based in Bremen, Braunschweig and, more recently, Burgwedel. Due to its expansion course, Willenbrock consolidated its headquarters in Hanover-Anderten and Kirchhorst in Burgwedel at the end of 2022. With the new building, the company management is responding to the positive business development of recent years and the resulting increase in demand for space and the technical and spatial equipment of all departments. Customers throughout the Willenbrock region benefit from the company's local roots, short distances and fast response times. Specialists for various intralogistics topics and, in particular, the two hundred and eighty mobile service technicians ensure the operational readiness of customer vehicles.
