Doubled storage space in Allermöhe
Nagel-Group is launching an extensive expansion and modernization project at its Hamburg site. Germany's largest food logistics company will completely restructure the site in the Allermöhe industrial estate.
In addition to the construction of a new transshipment warehouse, the storage capacities are also being modernized and expanded. Nagel-Group is investing more than 60 million euros in this major project. Nagel-Group currently operates on a 33,000 square meter site on Hans-Duncker-Straße in the Hamburg district of Bergedorf, and the size of the site is now being expanded to more than 70,000 square meters.
Logistics capacity will also double, with around 18,000 pallet spaces available in future. "Hamburg has always been a special location for our company. We set up our first branch outside of our headquarters here in 1959. We have been based in Hamburg-Allermöhe since the 1980s and have expanded time and again. Now we are giving the go-ahead for the construction of a state-of-the-art logistics complex," said Marion Nagel, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors, at the laying of the foundation stone.
Up to one billion euros investment program by 2032
Nuts, spices and fish arrive at Nagel-Group in Hamburg from China, India, Vietnam and Colombia, while the logistics company ships cheese and chocolate from the Hanseatic city to the Middle East, Australia and the USA for its customers. "We use the seaport for global imports and exports. Hamburg is already one of our three largest outbound locations," said Marion Nagel.
The comprehensive modernization and expansion is part of the largest investment programme in the company's history. "We will invest up to 1 billion euros by 2032. In our network and in our digital infrastructure," said Carsten Taucke, CEO of Nagel-Group. Hamburg is one of the most extensive projects being implemented. Bremer Bau is developing the logistics property as general contractor. Completion is planned for early 2026.
