Good approval situation and flexibility

Sometimes you simply need a little bit more: increased safety, high certified standards, and a great deal of technical and methodological expertise. Specialized warehouses that meet the strict requirements for the storage and transport of hazardous materials are among the cr.me de la cr.me of contract logistics. Logwin’s own warehouse in Heppenheim is an impressive example of this, with more than 30 years of experience in this field.

With 25,000 pallet spaces and a total floor space of 12,000 m², divided between a fully automatic high-bay warehouse and logistics handling areas, the logistics hub in Heppenheim also offers dynamic picking stations to provide optimal conditions for the storage and logistical processing of a wide range of hazardous materials. The site is classified as a “major accident hazard site” under Germany’s Federal Immission Control Act (abbreviated BImSchG in German) and has the appropriate permit from the regional council. This means that larger quantities of hazardous substances of storage classes 2B, 3, 5.1B, 6.1, 8, and 10 – 13 according to TRGS 510 can be stored here, as well as water-polluting substances (WGK 1 – 3). Compliance with the applicable permits is evaluated continuously and in real time. Not only the existing stock, but also all electronically notified incoming and outgoing goods are taken into account in advance to optimally control the flow of goods and capacity utilization.

The building is not only secured by an alarm and video surveillance, but is also protected by a security service. The site is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, ensuring compliance with the highest standards.

At the same time, Heppenheim stands out thanks to its particularly convenient location. The A5 highway is only two kilometers away and Frankfurt Airport is 50 kilometers away.

As all of this shows, Logwin has a lot to offer in Heppenheim. And so, in 2024, Logwin was able to acquire a major new customer: a leading manufacturer of oils and lubricants with particularly high demands on its logistics partner. In addition to Logwin’s expertise in hazardous materials and the favorable approval situation, the rapid implementation and flexible warehouse structure played a particularly important role in the customer’s decision. The Heppenheim site’s multi-customer concept and fully automated pallet storage system have enabled efficient and cost-effective processes. In addition, Logwin implemented a daily shuttle transportation service with several vehicles between the customer’s production site and the Logwin warehouse in Heppenheim, enabling Logwin to fully meet the needs of its new partner.
