About us
Short delivery times thanks to 1.2 million in investments in new warehouse
In order to make us less dependent on foreign suppliers and to be able to offer our customers even shorter delivery times in the future, we invested EUR 1.2 million in a new warehouse in the spring of 2021. This will allow us to offer our customers even better services in the future - through significantly shorter production and delivery times. In addition, this also increases our delivery reliability. A criterion that has become much more important for many customers in Corona times.
