The modern distribution center of the Seifert company was ceremoniously opened at the end of October this year in the German city of Ulm. The massive halls, valued at 15 million euros, will be able to serve the company’s clients in the automotive, construction, paper, chemical, and food industries.
Over 200 guests were invited to the ceremony, including the Minister of Transport of Baden-Württemberg Winfried Hermann, the Mayor of Ulm Ivo Gönner, and members of parliament from Brussels, Strasbourg, Berlin, and Stuttgart. They expressed their appreciation for the company, which is already announcing further investments in Europe.
– The opening of the new logistics center in Ulm is a significant investment for the entire group. The Seifert brand is developing intensively, as evidenced by numerous new locations, not only in Germany but also in the Czech Republic and Poland – says Jan Brachmann, President of the Management Board of Seifert Polska, which belongs to the Group.
The new logistics center fits perfectly into the existing needs of the environment and also has an ideal location, which few companies in the TSL industry in this region can boast of. The company always locates its investments in the best possible places in terms of infrastructure and transport route intersections.
– This was an excellent choice and a piece of good work – summarized the investment Minister Winfried Hermann, who repeatedly emphasized its importance for the logistics industry.
During the ceremony, a new street and roundabout were also opened. The new infrastructure is a prelude to further investments that will begin soon. The strategic importance of the investment is reinforced by the fact that in 2016, a section connecting the A8 motorway to the Seifert Logistics center will be put into use in the industrial district of Ulm.
The Seifert Group has 30 branches in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Poland. It offers innovative, intelligent service concepts in the areas of supply, production, distribution, as well as warehousing and production logistics. It cooperates with renowned corporations in the automotive, chemical, and paper industries. In total, it employs over 900 people.
