DuraLog Achern

Duralog Duravit Logistik GmbH has almost 100,000 square metres of space at its disposal in Achern, around a quarter of which is currently in reserve. Construction of the facilities proceeded in various phases:
Work on construction of Duravit's new central warehouse in Achern began on 24 January 2001. In 2006 Duralog expanded the logistic centre's capacity by 50 per cent. This was in response to the increased requirements arising above all from Duravit's success in the Bathtubs + Wellness segment, which was established in 2002. A major portion of the space added in 2006 was thus earmarked for the storage of bathtubs in the most diverse shapes and sizes in special racking. Franz Kook, management board chairman of Duravit AG, intimated at the opening that this would not be the final chapter in the ongoing development of the depot in Achern. 2009 saw Duralog Logistik GmbH undertake a further investment – this time on the other side of the road, where a new, fully automated high-bay warehouse was built and connected via a 10 metre high bridge to the existing building. The two areas are linked up via a conveyor system covering a total distance of around 270 metres. Measuring 105 x 51 metres and 26 metres in height, the new building will offer space for 20,000 pallets at various storage heights.
