psb intralogistics builds a new Materials Management Center

For psb, as an expert in intralogistics, it is a matter of course to optimize its own material flow and warehousing processes. Since our production warehouse and our purchased-parts warehouse had reached their capacity limits, the decision was made to build a new high-bay warehouse for small parts and pallets.

On a floor layout of approximately 3,700 m² and a height of up to 25 m, a fully automated warehouse is being built that will replace both our inbound goods warehouse and our production warehouse. It will include a shuttle system to accommodate 30,000 bins and a pallet warehouse for 5,000 pallets up to a height of two meters. With these two systems, we will be able to store and retrieve 600 bins and 120 pallets per hour. In addition, 600 m of conveying technology as well as four workstations for storage and retrieval will be installed.

As it will be also the showroom for our system solutions, we will equip the new Materials Management Center with the latest, innovative intralogistics technology and software applications. The space created by moving the warehousing areas will be used to further improve our internal material flow in production.

With the new Materials Management Center, we will triple our warehouse capacity as well as the volume of goods stored and retrieved per hour. In addition, the restructuring associated with the new building will provide for further optimization of our production processes. This enables us to reduce production costs and establish the foundation for further company growth. With the largest individual investment in psb’s corporate history, we are setting another strong signal for the long-term security of the company location and thus for the jobs.

The buildings are scheduled to be completed by June at the latest. It is planned to carry out and commission the interior finishing, including the entire intralogistics system, starting in mid-2026. Operations are due to begin in the second quarter of 2027.
