The Rewe Group will invest 600 million euros in the modernization of the logistics center in Wiener Neudorf in the coming years. According to a press release dated July 2, this marks the largest single investment by a private company in Lower Austria to date. In the future, around 2,500 locations will be supplied – especially in Vienna, Lower Austria, and Burgenland. Construction will start in the second quarter of 2026.
According to the Rewe Group, the site will be transformed into a sustainable, innovative logistics center with modern storage technologies on existing land by 2030. From there, the company will supply its "BILLA",
"BILLA PLUS", "BIPA", and "ADEG" stores as well as cooperation partners such as gas station shops with several tens of thousands of products from the dry range of the product palette comprising a total of around 100,000 items throughout Austria. The new logistics center aims to consolidate all goods traffic of the site in one building. The Rewe Group intends to improve the security of supply and enhance economic and ecological efficiency across the entire supply chain.

central high-performance building: Through detailed advance planning using data analysis, robotics technology in order picking, and a combination of manual, semi-automated, and fully automated systems, more goods can be delivered in a shorter time and space-saving manner in the future. This also includes a fully automated high-bay warehouse with approximately 87,000 pallet spaces and a delivery capacity of approximately 116 million order units per year.
