Saint Petersburg, 2 November 2022
Ahlers announces the completion of the construction of a new warehouse on the territory of the southern part of the Gorelovo industrial zone in St. Petersburg. The facility with an area of 25,300 sqm is part of the company’s existing warehouse complex which will total more than 60,000 sqm. Ahlers is currently the largest 3pl operator in St. Petersburg on its own premises.
“We are delighted to open the doors to another warehouse facility. With the new facility, we can support our customers with superior quality, efficient inventory management, additional added value services, and speed to the local market”, says Stefan Van Doorslaer, Group CEO Ahlers.
The company first set up its Russian branch in 1993 and has since continued to grow its footprint in an organic way, holding itself accountable to the highest standards of business ethics. The new A-class warehouse facility will be a flagship in addition to the warehouses already located in Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Chelyabinsk, and Novosibirsk.
According to Didier Duponselle, Business Unit Director of Warehousing and On-site Logistics at Ahlers, the new logistics center is the perfect gateway to help customers with their e-commerce strategy. By accelerating the process of goods delivery and increasing our efficiency, we support their complex supply chain challenges, helping them to further improve their customer service.
