Austrian third-party logistics
supplier, JCL Logistics, is
enjoying the benefits of an
automated handling solution
designed by KNAPP that
enables the company to meet
the B2B and B2C demands of
its clients in a flexible way.

JCL recently invested 18.5
million Euros in a 50,000m2
distribution centre in
Werndorf, Austria, which acts
as the logistical hub for
customers in Austria,
Switzerland, Hungary,
Slovenia and parts of
Germany, including a major
Swiss fashion retailer. Opened
last summer, the facility –
which ships more than 28
million articles of clothing for
retail stores (B2B) and about
3.5 million items for direct
customer orders (B2C) per
year – features automated
handling systems from the
KNAPP Group, including
overhead conveyor systems
from its subsidiary, Dürkopp
Fördertechnik.

KNAPP’s OSR Shuttle
automatic storage and
retrieval system (ASRS), with
its retrieval capacity of 1000
totes per hour, forms the heart
of JCL’s order picking
operations.
