Global Distribution Center for Rittal
Individual projects » Intralogistics for global ditribution
With its standardized housing solutions for control technology, Rittal supplies well-known companies from all industries that have something to do with control technology, from car manufacturers and machine builders to telecommunications companies. To ensure timely deliveries around the world, Rittal operates an extensive network: 58 subsidiaries, 7 sales and logistics centers, 40 international agencies and 13 production sites worldwide are supplied from the central warehouse. The delivery must have arrived at the customer’s in 24 or 48 hours – this is the company’s service philosophy. In order to keep up with this in times of increasing order volumes, the new Global Distribution Center must be thoroughly trimmed for speed and efficiency.
