The Noerpel Group already had operations in two branch offices in the Hamburg metropolitan region with a total of about 15,000 square meters of its own warehousing and logistics space. These are utilized at high capacity so the company needed another property for further expansion. “We are delighted that we were able to meet Noerpel’s needs with our logistics site in Rade,” says Jan Dietrich Hempel, Garbe Logistic AG Board Director.
The convenient location and vicinity to the harbour were the main decisive factors for the selection of the new logistics facility. “We can optimize hinterland transport for our customers from the Rade-Wenzendorf site,” says Stefan Noerpel-Schneider, managing partner of Noerpel Group. “We immediately unload inbound overseas containers here in the port of Hamburg and store the goods.” The logistics provider is also responsible for distribution: employees take over the picking and shipping to retailers in the Benelux countries, France and several Eastern European countries.
New location, experienced employees
Ascherl-Noerpel employs a number of people in Rade-Wenzendorf who previously worked for the company in Hamburg. “Their experience and know-how have moved to the new logistics site along with the project,” says Ascherl-Noerpel CEO Berthold Bernecker. “We were able to guarantee a seamless transition thanks to this integration.”
The Eurolog Rade logistics centre is a property of Garbe Logistic AG, Hamburg. It is located on the A1 motorway in the immediate vicinity of the Rade interchange. It has optimal connections via the A 7 motorway as well as the B 3 and B 75 national roads. It is 25 kilometres from the port of Hamburg. BNP Paribas Real Estate GmbH, one of Germany’s leading real estate advisers, brokered the rental of the property.
