Logistics
An efficient and adaptable logistics system is a basic building block for a successful distribution model. Adapting to changing customer needs is the key to success. Our state-of-the-art logistics centre is capable of sending up to 30,000 cartons a day on their way to the customer at peak times. Short response times, high availability of goods and flexibility make this efficient logistics model possible.

An essential part of an efficient logistics process is the collection of the goods. Thanks to a high level of automation in the incoming goods process, we receive the incoming goods in our warehouse as quickly as possible and provide further steps.
