Expansion of the logistic center: Wepoba Wellpappenfabrik is investing a double-digit million project

Ten years after the construction of the new logistics center, over 16,000 m² of hall space offers space for around 15,000 pallets of corrugated board products manufactured in the Panther Group's East German plant. The integration of a fully automated high-bay warehouse is planned for the future, which will increase capacity to around 30,000 pallets.

The forward-looking connection between the plant parts through a fully automatic road bridge, which was built in 2014, ensures the perfect logistical connection to the new hall. The trucks can dock at a total of 16 loading ramps and pick up the finished goods for delivery to customers. The short distances, which make unnecessary transport movements within the plant premises superfluous, create an efficient link between the logistics areas. This investment will also eliminate existing external warehouses and massively reduce CO2 emissions caused by unnecessary truck journeys. The Wepoba Wellpappenfabrik is taking a further step towards maximum product quality with a production process that can be controlled at any time in conjunction with the highest possible productivity and increased capacity.

The successful development of the location in Wustermark is also supported by technical investments, such as the recent expansion of the hall. In the 20th year of the Wepoba Wellpappenfabrik's existence in Havelland, it is clear that the standards integrated from the outset (GMP standard/Good Manufacturing Practice and DIN EN ISO 9001 (quality) and 14001 (environment)) were important factors for the successful development are. Combined under one roof are the production of corrugated board on the corrugated board plant, which is still highly modern with a working width of 2,800 mm, its processing and finishing with flexo direct printing or the flexo preprint process, display production and assembly as well as forward-looking logistics - all from a single source.
