DHL Supply Chain accompanies Primark to Austria

New logistics centre of DHL Supply Chain in Mönchengladbach supports Primark fashion retailer with warehousing and distribution
 
The contract logistics specialist DHL Supply Chain has officially opened its new logistics centre in Mönchengladbach for its customer Primark. The facility launched operations with 150 employees. This number is expected to increase to 250 over the next several years as the logistics centre expands. Located in the "Regiopark" near highway A 61, the warehouse will supply Primark retail stores in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Austria.
 
The continuously growing fashion retailer Primark currently relies on DHL and its logistics expertise in three European countries. With 2008 marking the start of the first Primark-DHL logistics centre in Great Britain and 2010 in Spain, the Irish fashion retailer has now built a centre in Germany. The logistics centre, with a ground area of 40,000 m², will have the capability to pick and prepare for transport 16 million shipments annually. The logistics solution of DHL Supply Chain in Mönchengladbach covers all warehousing activities as well as transportation of the goods to 14 Primark stores.
 
Primark was founded in 1969 in Dublin, Ireland. In December 2008 the company opened its first branch in the Netherlands – in Rotterdam. Primark was introduced to Germany’s retail market a year later in 2009. Eight retail stores have been opened since then in Germany, two in Austria, one in Belgium and a further two in the Netherlands. In total there are nearly 250 retail stores throughout Western Europe.
