About us

LahrLogistics GmbH was established by two companies organised as cooperative – fenaco in Bern (CH) and ZG Raiffeisen in Karlsruhe (DE) – and was constructed at a location in Lahr (DE) which is ideal for logistics. The warehouses are specifically geared to suit the diverse and sometimes bulky assortment of the two cooperatives. This means they are capable of handling and storing large quantities of goods.

The goods are procured by LANDI Switzerland (a subsidiary companyof fenaco) and ZG Raiffeisen on international markets and transported to the warehouses of LahrLogistics. From here, LANDI shops in Switzerland and ZG Raiffeisen markets in Germany are supplied with every conceivable kind of consumer goods related to home, garden and agriculture.

The company will continue to develop and grow in the coming years. Another construction phase is in the planning stages. The storage volume will more than double following a two-year construction period. Thanks to automation and development, new jobs are being created in a highly efficient logistics company. LahrLogistics is becoming even more attractive as an employer and offers opportunities.

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. As a marketing partner, it ensures that high-quality, Swiss-produced food gets to the customer – from fruit and vegetables to potatoes, grains, eggs, meat and beverages. 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. The Bern-based fenaco cooperative employs over 11,000 people and generated net sales of CHF 7.54 billion in 2023.

The roughly 1900 employees of the cooperative run more than 40 technical workshops, 70 ZG Raiffeisen markets, close to 30 Raiffeisen building centres, and more than 20 energy and 70 agriculture branches.

Building phases of the warehouses

The first building phase, with a warehouse and a capacity of roughly 15 000 pallet spaces, was completed in 2015. Two more warehouses were added in 2018. Since that time the site has offered capacity for a total of 45 000 pallet spaces, and is designed and built according to the latest logistics criteria.

Another phase for the construction of three further halls will follow in 2024 with a focus on the final expansion, increasing the capacity by a further 30,000 pallet bays to a total of 75,000.

Modernisation of the entire logistics process plays a central role here. Thanks to partially automated goods receiving, the goods will automatically be transported to the fully automated high-bay warehouse, as well as to the three existing halls, in the future using conveyor technology. This extension also sees additional investment in automation of all logistics processes, as well as in the warehouse management system.

In order to be able to ensure an optimised and seamless flow of traffic on our site, the various scenarios will be elaborated together with the stakeholders, taking digitalisation, goods receiving and outgoing goods into consideration.

 

With the next construction stage (see the orange area), a total of roughly 75,000 pallet bays will be available to our customers.
