psb intralogistics will implement an in-house system concept for FRICKE Group

psb intralogistics, one of the leading European suppliers of intralogistics solutions, will deliver the entire logistics system for FRICKE Group’s new logistics centre in Tholey. The location in the south-west of Germany offers ideal access to the markets in southern Germany, France and southern Europe. The high performance and flexibility in terms of utilisation and expansion were decisive factors in favour of the psb solution.

FRICKE Group, headquartered in Heeslingen, Lower Saxony/Germany, is the leading distributor of agricultural machinery, garden and municipal technology and commercial vehicle trade plus spare parts and components. With 84 locations, FRICKE is active in 27 countries.

The new logistics centre of FRICKE Group will have an impressive floor space of 80,000 square metres. This project will set a milestone in warehouse efficiency. Focus of the modern intralogistics concept is the very high degree of automation and the system technology that provides for a flexible extension in terms of storage and processing capacity.

“With psb intralogistics, we have found the right partner for realising this large and challenging project,” says Hans-Peter Fricke, owner and Managing Director of the FRICKE Group. “In addition to the convincing concept, the high level of vertical integration at psb was also a decisive factor for us. Most of the components for our future system will be designed, manufactured and programmed at psb in Pirmasens. This provides us with the necessary planning security.”
