ECE and Still have laid the foundation stone for a new logistics centre in Hamburg, due to be occupied by Still from spring 2017.
The local forklift truck supplier and intralogistics specialist commissioned ECE to build the 27,000 m2 complex next to its head office in Billbrookdeich.
'The new Still logistics centre, for which we will lay the foundation stone today, will be a new milestone for our location in Hamburg. It will help us prepare for the future as it will provide the necessary capacities for our envisaged growth in the years to come,' commented Dr. Henry Puhl, Still CEO.
Still has signed a long-term lease for the logistics centre, which ECE plans to sell.
'Still is an enormously important player for Hamburg. ECE is pleased that it has been able to contribute to securing the location through this customized logistics centre,' said Alexander Otto, CEO of ECE.
