| New narrow-aisle warehouse opened at the business’s main spare parts facility ; spare parts for Berger lightweight vehicles also now available Schmitz Cargobull is investing in the expansion of its central warehouse for spare parts at Altenberge. This will ensure a high level of material availability for service partners and customers through improved utilisation at the site.Schmitz Cargobull’s European spare parts business has grown strongly in recent years. In order to be able to offer fast and reliable delivery of more than 80,000 spare parts, the company is continuously expanding its range of services. With the new narrow-aisle warehouse more storage space for additional spare parts has been created. Spare parts for Berger lightweight vehicles will also be distributed from the site. “Compared to independent dealers, Schmitz Cargobull offers a decisive advantage: one-stop shopping and parts identification via the chassis number in the EPOS spare parts portal, which enables fast repairs and high uptime for Schmitz Cargobull trailers,” says Britta Sprey, Managing Director at Cargobull Parts & Services. Expanded central warehouse “We now have 29 distribution centres throughout Europe to ensure that we can supply our workshops and customers with the most common spare parts 24/7. The central warehouse in Altenberge is used as a distribution centre for Germany and Austria. From here, we supply the international distribution centres several times a day or, if required, we can deliver directly to our service partners throughout Europe,” explains Britta Sprey. Since January 2023, Schmitz Cargobull has relied on 100% digital processes in the central warehouse – from delivery to loading. Employees work with back-of-hand and finger scanners as well as industrial tablets, which enables efficient and secure processes. EPOS spare parts portal |
