DACHSER’s logistics center in Karlsruhe is set to grow with the acquisition of approximately 27,800 square meters of warehouse space in Rastatt. Strategically positioned at the Rastatt North freeway junction near the Rhine ports in Karlsruhe, the new facility is slated for completion by early 2025, enhancing the company’s warehousing capacity in the Middle Upper Rhine logistics region by around 42,000 pallet spaces.
Even before construction commenced, DACHSER secured the lease agreement, underscoring its commitment to bolstering logistics capabilities in the area. With the building permit recently granted, the handover to DACHSER is expected in the second quarter of 2025. The new logistics center, developed by DFI Real Estate, will offer modern amenities including warehouse space, mezzanine storage, and office facilities to accommodate 40 to 50 employees.
Positioned at the junction of major transportation routes, including the A5/A8 highways, the Rastatt location ensures seamless connectivity to the European land transport network and the economic hub of Karlsruhe. Designed with sustainability and digitalization in mind, the facility will feature innovative technologies such as heat pump systems and photovoltaic panels, aligning with DACHSER’s sustainability strategy and reinforcing its commitment to testing climate-friendly solutions within its network.
