The 3PL provider Hartmann International is building another logistics property on the site of the Paderborn Logistics Park. The new 20,000 m² building meets the latest sustainability standards and will be connected to the existing transshipment hall.

Every kilowatt hour counts. Reducing electricity consumption as permanently as possible is not only a key to achieving the ambitious goals of the energy transition. Even in times of rising costs due to energy shortages and galloping inflation, it is important to save wherever possible! Our latest blog article shows why digitalization is THE solution and how you can use a warehouse management system (WMS) to directly influence the ecological footprint and operating costs of your warehouse.
