Rubrik Issue One 2009 17 site not far from company headquarters in Versmold and started operations in 2007. Capacities had become scarce at company headquarters, making it necessary to build the 18,500 m² warehouse and handling complex. “Re- locating the branch to Borgholzhausen has freed up the urgently needed handling capacities and space for addi- tional services such as picking and packaging”, says Dirk Hanker, head of corporate communication. The building complex measuring 246 m long by 75 m wide complies with the very latest standards. At present, vehicles can drive up to 139 roll-up doors from three dif- ferent directions, and the facility oﬀers scope for even further expansion. A good 1,400 refrigerated transports arrive every day at the branch in Borgholzhausen on the motorway A33, bringing up to 5,000 tons of goods at peak times. The food professionals supply not only butter for the morning toast but also meat and sausage products, cheese, poultry, dairy products, salads, baked products and con- fectionery, all neatly packed, for the supermarket refrig- erators of nearly all retail chains throughout Germany. Today the Nagel Group operates throughout the whole of Europe to oﬀer its customers all services from a single source, from ordering and procurement via storage, pick- ing and packaging through to transport and distribution. On request, the transport specialists even label and price the goods. The customer base includes not only renowned retail companies, bulk consumers, hotels and restaurants but also a good portion of the food manufacturers. Good reason indeed to spare a thought to food logistics expert Kraftverkehr Nagel and its supplier BPW while enjoying a tasty breakfast: without the services of these two compa- nies, the fridge would probably be bare.
