Multi-temp facility in Nuremberg: Nagel-Group puts automated high-bay warehouse into operation

Nuremberg. 05.06.2024. Around 27,000 pallets can be stored at minus 24 degrees Celsius: Nagel-Group has completed the expansion of its logistics centre in Nuremberg. Following the expansion into a modern multi-temp facility, the site is now equipped with an automated high-bay warehouse, photovoltaic systems and storage capacities for all temperature ranges. The commissioning of the expansion was celebrated on 4 June 2024 with 50 guests. Nagel-Group has invested more than 60 million euros in the major project in the Nuremberg-Feucht industrial estate directly on the A6 motorway.

"This fully automated high-bay warehouse is unique in the Nagel world; here we can serve all temperature ranges with state-of-the-art technology," said Marion Nagel, Chairwoman of the Nagel-Group Board of Directors, at the opening. "I would like to express my thanks to the project team for bringing this mega project to a successful conclusion. The result is both fantastic and impressive."

Nagel-Group now operates a state-of-the-art logistics facility for fresh and frozen products on the 60,000 square metre site. With its transshipment warehouse, the Nuremberg site is an important hub for food logistics in all temperature ranges. Dairy products, sweets, meat and sausage products from customers are dispatched throughout Germany and Europe.

"With this ultra-modern facility, we are well positioned for the future. It is 35 metres high and more than 1,300 tonnes of steel were used for the high-bay warehouse. And all of this was realised during ongoing operations, which all employees at the site have mastered fantastically," said Carsten Taucke, CEO of Nagel-Group.

The expansion was realised in one and a half years of construction. Nagel-Group Real Estate relied on Bremer as its construction partner, while Kardex Mlog installed the high-bay warehouse along with the modern technology.

The multi-temp system is designed to be energy-efficient and resource-saving. In addition to the expansion of storage capacity, a large lorry workshop for the region and a multi-storey car park with 208 parking spaces were built. All new parts of the building were equipped with photovoltaic systems. The electricity generated is consumed directly on site, and a cooling system with low refrigerant use and intensive heat recovery was also installed.
