Zeitfracht expands at Erfurt site and builds new pallet warehouse

Erfurt, December 23, 2021 - Zeitfracht is further strengthening its Erfurt location: In order to take account of the increased order volume and, above all, to be well equipped for further growth, the Zeitfracht Group has now acquired a 35,000 square meter property with Zeitfracht Immobilien GmbH at its media and book logistics location in the north of Erfurt directly on the A71. It is directly adjacent to the existing logistics center and can therefore be optimally integrated into the existing processes and flow of goods.

In a first construction measure, it is planned to build a large pallet warehouse with sufficient picking and processing areas and to expand the capacity of Zeitfracht GmbH.

Thomas Raff, CEO of the Zeitfracht Group and spokesman for the management of Zeitfracht GmbH: "The fact that we recognize growth potential at our logistics location in Erfurt and are preparing for the future is thanks to the many people who order and buy their books in bookstores in Germany and Austria. We have also very successfully built up the logistics business with third-party companies that commission us to handle their online trade. We also want to create growth opportunities for this line of business. For Zeitfracht, the purchase of the property is also a long-term commitment to the Erfurt location. The Zeitfracht Group feels very welcome in Thuringia, and we work very well with the state and municipality."
