Distribution centre deal

The new centre in Schafisheim will consolidate Coop’s regional distribution centres in Zurich and North West Switzerland and assist the company in its commitment to reduce its carbon footprint.

TGW has been tasked with implementing an extensive materials handling system for the retailer that will increase the efficiency of its logistics processes and span four areas at the Schafisheim site.

The first of the four areas will be used for the storage and semi-automated picking of dry goods. Primarily it will consist of a four-aisle high bay warehouse for pallets and picking zones.
