About us

The company LahrLogistics GmbH was founded by the two cooperative companies fenaco Bern (CH) and ZG Raiffeisen Karlsruhe (DE) and established at an optimum logistical location in Lahr (DE). Since 2024, fenaco Bern (CH) has been the sole owner of LahrLogistics GmbH. The storage depots of LahrLogistics are specifically designed to accommodate the wide-ranging and sometimes bulky range of products. This allows for the optimum handling and storage of large quantities of goods.

The goods are sourced on the international markets by LANDI Switzerland (a subsidiary of fenaco) and other fenaco companies before being subsequently stored at the LahrLogistics logistics centre. From there, both LANDI shops in Switzerland as well as other customers are supplied with a wide assortment of household, garden and agricultural goods.

The company is set to continue to develop and grow over the coming years. The next construction phase is now in planning and scheduled for implementation in 2026. Expanding the capacity of the storage facilities with a new depot as well as a large-scale and covered outdoor storage area will create additional storage flexibility for products, including bulky goods from the home and garden assortment. A modern and forward-looking warehouse management system will guarantee automation in the existing depots and varied configuration options. To actively contribute to sustainability and an environmentally-friendly development of the company, a high-performance PV system is also planned.

The automation and extension of the location will also create new jobs in a highly efficient logistics company. LahrLogistics GmbH offers its employees varied and interesting roles with good future prospects. 


About the fenaco cooperative

fenaco is an agricultural cooperative based on a 150-year-old idea. It is owned by 145 LANDIs and their 41,000 members, including over 23,000 active Swiss farmers. As a supplier, fenaco offers farmers a wide range of products, services and technologies they need for sustainable, efficient and market-oriented farming, regardless of the production method.

Some of fenaco’s most well-known brands include the feed manufacturer UFA, the fertiliser distributor LANDOR, the beverage manufacturer RAMSEIER Suisse, the winery Provins, the meat processor Ernst Sutter, the retail companies Volg and LANDI as well as the energy supplier AGROLA.

Construction phases of the warehouses

The first construction phase, with a warehouse and a capacity of approximately 15,000 pallet spaces, was completed in 2015. Two additional warehouses were added in 2018. Since then, the site – which was designed and built according to the latest logistics criteria – has offered space for a total of 45,000 pallet spaces.

Focusing on the final expansion, an additional phase for the construction of additional storage capacity is to follow in 2026, which will increase the capacity by an additional 10,000 pallet bays to a total of 55,000.

In this context, the modernisation of all the entire logistics processes is playing a central role. With a partially automated goods receipt system, the goods will be transferred to the internal transport for storage purposes. With this expansion project, an investment is therefore being made in the automation of all the logistics processes and the warehouse management system.

To ensure the optimum and smooth flow of traffic on site, the various scenarios in the field of incoming and outgoing goods are being developed and adjusted together with various stakeholders taking digitalisation into account. These stakeholders include LANDI Switzerland, the local public authorities and additional partner companies.

With the next construction stage (see the orange area), a total of roughly 55,000 pallet bays will be available to our customers.
