Logwin launches fashion competence centre at its Traiskirchen location

The logistics service provider Logwin has relocated its fashion competence from its Vienna site to Traiskirchen, 20 kilometers away. Following several months of preparation and comprehensive structural alterations, the move was successfully completed in June. The bundling of services in Traiskirchen means that the location is now directly connected to Logwin’s international fashion and retail network. Customers from the area of contract logistics will also benefit from shorter lead times and even better service.
“Our location in the Liesing district of Vienna was situated in a residential area where structural development or alterations would have made no sense,” explains Franz Bräuer, Logwin’s branch manager in Traiskirchen. “Since we have a state-of-the-art logistics site with sufficient capacity even for further growth just a few kilometers away, the best solution was to concentrate our services there.”
Logwin operates a logistics center on the industrial estate in Traiskirchen with around 40,000 m² of warehousing space and 1,200 m² of office space. This makes Traiskirchen one of Logwin’s largest sites in the world. It is where Logwin manages contract logistics projects in the automotive, retailing, fashion and e-commerce fields. The location is also certified for seaworthy packaging – employees perform packing for equipment and components from the field of electrical engineering, from the purchasing of the packaging materials to loading containers. What is new is now the transshipment of high-value hanging garments and numerous value added services such as labelling and placing textiles on hangers. Following the relocation of all 34 staff from Vienna, Logwin now employs 80 people in Traiskirchen.
Investment in structural alterations totalling around EUR 1.2 million have been made at the site over the last few months in order to integrate the fashion projects from Vienna with the logistics facility in Traiskirchen. “We have thermally refurbished various areas of the warehouse and also dismantled the high-rack storage facility,” says Franz Bräuer. This allowed the development of 8,000 m² of external storage on the premises which supplement the more than 32,000 m² of enclosed storage space. Long-standing Logwin customers showed interest in the new extended area even while the structural alterations were in progress, indicating they may commission additional projects in the current year.
