The contract service provider ID Logistics has signed another lease for a new building in the Mittelweser Park near Hanover and will open a 60,000 square meter supply warehouse for a new e-commerce customer at the beginning of September 2025. This will expand the contract service provider's capacity there to a total of 77,000 square meters of new building space as well as 206 car and 38 truck parking spaces, according to a press release from ID Logistics dated May 9. It was only in the third quarter of 2024 that the company had put a 17,000 square meter e-commerce fulfillment center, among other things for perfume and cosmetics, into operation
in the Mittelweser Park.
A key factor for the new business was a customized logistics concept as well as the high level of competence and speed of implementation in the field of e-commerce, ID Logistics announced. The future distribution center, which is to serve as a major central hub for the storage of supply goods and their distribution in large quantities to a variety of sales outlets or other distribution centers, expands the range of services offered by ID Logistics Germany for e-commerce.
ID Logistics will invest a further ten million euros at the Mittelweser Park site, including around 3.5 million euros in a narrow aisle system. This brings the contract
logistician's investment in intralogistics there to a total of approximately 15 million euros.
"We are increasing both our efficiency and our volume business in 2025," said Robin Otto, CEO of ID Logistics Germany. "After, for example, tripling our e-commerce capacities for another customer in an existing property in Dortmund, we are now quadrupling our space capacities in a newly built logistics park for the first time in Germany."
In the new distribution center, around 350 employees will be employed at its peak. Thus, ID Logistics will employ up to a total of 600 employees at the site in the future.
"The Mittelweser Park is a very beautiful logistics park built to
the latest standards of technology and sustainability," said Gregor Eich, Director of Project Management & Reengineering, who is responsible for the implementation of the project at the site. The geographical location and local labor market would offer many potentials, and they are perceived as a good employer. In all approval processes, they received constructive support from the municipality.
"This makes you want more," Gregor Eich continued. "In the Mittelweser Park, there is still a larger contiguous area available." In their view, it is very well suited for another contract in the retail sector or for FMCG. Interested companies would benefit from established administrative structures, the associated cost synergies, and the resulting
