Erfurt receives German carpet centre


Hermes Fulfilment has added another location to its network. The Otto Group’s central service provider for logistics and returns handling has commissioned what is now Germany’s largest carpet warehouse in Stotternheim, a suburb of Erfurt in Thuringia.

 

The hall covers an area of around 50,000 sqm – roughly equivalent to seven football pitches. Half of this space is for carpets. At full capacity, up to 320,000 units can be stored in the 12 m high shelves. The rest of the warehouse is dedicated to small furniture items.

 

The carpets, by now ready for dispatch, are transported 50 km from Erfurt to Ohrdruf in a shuttle truck, where there are sorted at the delivery base and then fed into the distribution network of sister company Hermes Germany, before finally being shipped to end customers in Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
