Oftringen in Switzerland's 'Mitteland' region, the country's traffic hub
is connected to all major swiss cities via the A1 and A2 motorways.
A plot measuring 57 000 square meters on the revitalized grounds,
of what used to be a paper factory, will accommodate the new logistics center of FIEGE Logistik Schweiz AG.
Directly linked to the A1 and A2 motorways,
some 50 to 70 kilometers away from Basel, Zurich and Bern.
Its central location facilitates a 24-hour-distribution throughout Switzerland.
30 000 square meters dedicated to logistics
the largest swiss logistics center of FIEGE Logistik Schweiz AG was built in 9 months.
Such a time schedule requires the use of not so conventional methods.
A hangar with 4 separate segments is built.
The planning and realization tenaciously pursued the latest as well as future requirements of fashion and consumer goods logistics,
the demands of tire and beverage logistics and the particular needs of pharmaceuticals logistics.
The final phase of the structural work before completing the hangars interior:
pouring of the concrete floor.
In parallel with expanding the warehouses useful area
some 700 square meters of office space
including cables and installation of the IT-infrastructure are created.
Setting up the racking system in the warehouse during the first expansion phase produces 14 000 racking slots
of a possible total capacity of around 45 000 pallet slots.
Safety is paramount at this multi-user facility.
The integrated water reservoirs feeding the sprinklers have a capacity of 600 000 litres.
Additionally the mega centre Oftringen complies with maximum security standards.
Electronically controlled access to all office and warehouse areas, the entire facility is under video surveillance,
recording of all inbound and outbound vehicles via license plate cameras.
FIEGE counts on cutting-edge logistics and ecology.
With the grounds own rail connection and the short distance to the main railway lines
Zurich - Bern - Geneva and Basel - Cersot
FIEGE persistently implements
its ecology-focused strategy that aims at using alternative means of transport.
For the Oftringen branch FIEGE eco-logistics
means: a stretch of the canal is redirected around the property.
this constitutes a substantial construction effort which however optimizes the use of the plot
while guiding this stretch of the river Tych
into a new renaturalized river bed.
A further feature that reflects the optimal adjustment: integrating an underground car park.
Trucks at 44 dock levellers this means order picking, packing, repacking with state of the art supply chain technology.
Barcode assisted material management and paperless pick-by-voice order picking
are carried out by our highly trained expert staff.
Paper is managed here in Oftringen,
for the printing of newspapers for example.
Specialized stackers load it from the train onto trucks.
A matter of course here at FIEGE: value added services,
