Odlo lays the foundations for future growth
The entire central warehouse capacities of the Odlo Sports Group and the administration of the two German sales and logistics companies are to be brought together in a new building in Brüggen/Bracht on the Lower Rhine on over 26,000 square meters. The German Odlo team will also receive new, bright office space on 1600 square meters. The ground-breaking ceremony for the new hall is due to take place in March 2012 and full operations could begin in spring 2013.
In the Romanian town of Roman, north-east of the city of Bacău, Odlo is doubling the size of its own production facility from 5,000 to 10,000 square meters. The expansion is due to be completed in June 2012 and will meet the increased production capacities. Odlo currently produces 79 percent of all products in Europe and the Middle East. Production in Romania guarantees short transportation routes within Europe.
"The new building in Germany and the expansion in Romania are prerequisites for the growth planned up to 2015," says Thomas Spiess, Head of Supply Chain at Odlo International AG.Note: This content has been automatically translated from German. Please report any incorrect translations.
