GO! Express & Logistics is expanding its central sorting facility in Niederaula, Hesse. After completion, there will be over 7,600 m² of hall floor space as well as ample space for offices, social areas and storage rooms. The expansion will enable 10,500 packages to be sorted per hour. To handle these volumes, up to 30 new employees will join the team. The expansion of the existing HUB will commence immediately in ongoing operation and is scheduled to be completed by May of next year.
The quality leader in express deliveries and highly time-critical consignments has recorded growth of over ten percent in consignment volumes for the fourth year in succession. To handle the increasing consignment volumes, the decision was made to commence with the construction project earlier than planned. To meet growing customer demand for consistent standards in addition to the increasing consignment numbers, the logistics expert has focused on the continuous expansion of its network.
“Following the construction and expansion of some decentralised regional HUBs, the expansion of our central HUB is another move to reduce transport routes and preserve our flexibility in terms of route planning,” explains Ulrich Nolte, managing director at GO! Express & Logistics (Deutschland) GmbH.
Once the construction project is completed, all conditions will be met to further ensure maximum flexibility for the transportation of rising consignment volumes for customers. 70 additional gates for vans and trucks will ensure that all consignments leave the handling area on time and arrive at business centres by 10 a.m. or with customers throughout Germany by 12 p.m. GO! reaches all major European cities overnight.
