Dachser is expanding its footprint in southern Germany with the construction of a new state-of-the-art logistics facility in Memmingen, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to growth, innovation, and sustainable supply chain operations. Located in the industrial park in northern Memmingen, the new development is expected to become operational by spring 2027 and will further enhance connectivity between the Allgäu region and major European markets.
The project represents an investment of approximately EUR 30 million and forms part of Dachser’s broader strategy to strengthen its logistics infrastructure across Europe. The upcoming facility will feature 11,000 square metres of cargo handling space, alongside 2,750 square metres dedicated to warehousing and an additional 1,000 square metres of office space. Designed to support high-volume freight movement, the site will be capable of handling up to 125 transport vehicles simultaneously, enabling faster and more efficient goods movement across the company’s network.
Dachser already operates one of its most important logistics hubs in Memmingen, including a fully automated high-bay warehouse. The latest expansion is aimed at supporting future growth while increasing operational flexibility for customers across industrial, consumer goods, and food logistics sectors. Company officials stated that the investment not only strengthens the Memmingen location but also contributes significantly to the regional economy.
The new facility is also expected to create around 90 additional jobs by mid-2027, taking the total workforce at the Allgäu logistics centre to over 900 employees. According to company leadership, the development ensures sufficient capacity for future expansion while allowing Dachser to maintain high standards of reliability and service quality in a rapidly evolving logistics environment.
Technology and sustainability are central to the project’s design. Dachser plans to integrate advanced digital systems into the terminal, including its award-winning @ILO digital twin technology developed in partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML. The system automates the identification and measurement of packages, reducing manual processes and improving operational precision throughout the logistics chain.
Environmental considerations have also been integrated into the construction plans. The facility will include charging infrastructure to support the growing deployment of electric trucks within Dachser’s fleet. In addition, a one-megawatt photovoltaic system will be installed on the building’s green roof to support renewable energy generation. The site will also utilise district heating supplied by the nearby e-con Heizwerk Nord energy plant.
Recognised as Dachser’s largest operational location globally, the Allgäu logistics centre currently manages approximately 1.3 million shipments annually and offers storage capacity for nearly 200,000 pallets, making it a key pillar of the company’s international logistics operations.
