Bossard invests in Illerrieden 04 January 2016

The Bossard Group will invest 14 million euros to build a modern warehouse at its German location in Illerrieden.

Bossard Group and subsidiary KVT-Fastening will use the new 6,100m² warehouse as a logistics hub for all product deliveries within Germany, and the central and eastern Europe region. The investment will increase capacity at the site fourfold.

“Illerrieden was specially selected for its central location in Europe. From here, we can reach all export countries in the EU relevant for our Group. This is beneficial for domestic as well as international Bossard and KVT-Fastening customers. Shorter routes, translates to shorter lead-time in product deliveries,” explains Frank Hilgers, member of the executive committee of Bossard Group.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new building (visualisation pictured) took place in September with commissioning planned for early 2017.
