Largest Ikea warehouse in Germany in operation
A year ago, the contract service provider ID Logistics installed one of the most modern and highly automated logistics systems in operation for Ikea Germany at its Dortmund site with an investment in the double-digit million range.
The aim of the two-year conversion was to accelerate the growth of the parcel business in Germany's largest Ikea warehouse in the B2C e-commerce market and at the same time significantly reduce CO² emissions.
"We are already achieving an increase in order lines from 180,000 to 270,000 per week. This corresponds to a 60 percent increase in volumes. In future, we will be able to double our original performance - without needing more staff or more space," comments Robin Otto, CEO of ID Logistics Germany. In 2024, ID Logistics Germany plans to expand the largest parcel unit for IKEA in Germany into a Center of Excellence.
