Galaxus is working flat out to secure it’s planned Swiss logistics locations in Utzenstorf and Rafz. The leading Swiss online retailer is planning a third operations centre in Neuenburg am Rhein in southern Germany. This will provide the necessary storage capacity for Switzerland and Europe in the midterm and bridge potential bottlenecks.
The leading Swiss online retailer, Galaxus, is bursting at the seams. Expansion options at the existing Wohlen/Dintikon logistics hub have been exhausted and building sites in strategically favourable locations are rare in Switzerland. In addition to the planned Swiss locations in Utzenstorf and Rafz, there’s a proposal to build a further operations centre in the southern German town of Neuenburg am Rhein to support the expansion in Switzerland and Europe.
No additional transportation routes
Many of the products that Galaxus sells come from Europe or arrive in Europe via the major freight ports. A large proportion of them are delivered directly via Germany. The new location won’t lengthen the transportation route taken by products from the manufacturer to the customer in Switzerland. The only difference is that the goods are temporarily stored in southern Germany instead of Wohlen.
Delivery from Neuenburg am Rhein to Zurich, Bern or Geneva will take a little longer. Nevertheless, customers can still order until late in the afternoon as usual for next-day delivery. Flash delivery will also be possible from the operations centre in southern Germany.
