Feldschlösschen has strongly centralised its logistics in recent years. Since the production and distribution warehouse at the main location in Rheinfelden does not offer sufficient capacity in its current form, Feldschlösschen has developed a logistics master plan. As part of this plan, various locations on the plant site were evaluated for the construction of a high-bay warehouse. On this basis, offers and concepts for automated storage and order picking were obtained from various system suppliers.
