Start of construction for new branch in Herborn Germany

In the old building in Haiger, the logistics service provider was only a tenant.

"The new handling areas and the generously designed logistics warehouse, together with the immediate proximity to the A45 motorway, form a long-term and strategic advantage for our entire European distribution network and, first and foremost, of course, for our customers," says branch manager Sven Decker.

The new branch is part of Raben's own general cargo network. In the transshipment hall, goods are stored at short notice, dispatched and picked for onward transport. The new building also includes a 920 square metre administration building.

Solar-powered heat pump heats new branch office

In the new branch, Raben heats the transshipment hall and the 920 square metre administration building with a heat pump powered by solar energy. The greatest possible protection of resources and the environment as well as the maximum use of renewable energies are an integral part of Raben's corporate philosophy. Thus, the new logistics centre in Herborn meets the current energy standard. The sustainability goals are defined in the "Eco2Way 2025" strategy. With this strategy, Raben wants to achieve a gradual reduction of the CO2 footprint in all business areas within five years.

Herborn's mayor welcomes the Raben settlement in the industrial area

"Roman Herzog once said: Visions are strategies of action. That distinguishes them from utopias. Vision requires courage, strength and the willingness to realise it'. It is precisely for this that I thank Raben's management, also on behalf of the municipal bodies," says Katja Gronau. Herborn's mayoress adds: "I am pleased that another gap in the industrial area of Herborn-West with its good transport connections is being closed and that jobs are being preserved and new ones created.
