Construction Launch: INTERSPORT Germany Further Expands Central Warehouse

In November 2024, INTERSPORT Germany celebrated the official launch of construction at the company headquarters in Heilbronn. The expansion includes two shuttle aisles for the fully automated high-bay warehouse, 27 meters high and approximately 100 meters long, as well as additional conveyor technology and picking stations.

The local press was on site and reported on the event. Thank you to SWR3 for allowing FORTNA to share the report.

Continuation of a comprehensive expansion project

The high-bay warehouse expansion is the continuation of a comprehensive expansion project that has been implemented in five stages since 2018 based on a complex intralogistics solution design developed by FORTNA.

Working in close collaboration, the FORTNA team has continuously supported INTERSPORT Germany with professional expertise throughout the entire duration of the extensive project. The ultimate payoff—orders from affiliated INTERSPORT stores can now be fulfilled largely through automated processes.

In the future, INTERSPORT Germany will be able to act quickly, flexibly and unfazed by disruptions within the global supply chain due to the investment of the current expansion.

Advantages of the current expansion of warehouse capacity

INTERSPORT Germany can increase inventory and offer a wider range of products. In addition, the high level of processing automation enables the company to meet the changing requirements of e-Commerce and maintain an increased order processing speed, which directly impacts customer satisfaction.

The current warehouse expansion go live at INTERSPORT Germany is scheduled for summer 2025.

FORTNA has been supporting us for many years and we trust in their expertise. During the expansion of our central warehouse, the team had and still has answers to all questions and solutions for all problems.
