GLS puts new Eastern German depot into operation
GLS Germany has put its new EUR 5.1 million depot at Limbach-Oberfrohna, near Chemnitz in eastern Germany, into operation, increasing its capacity in the region close to the Czech border.
The 3,700 sqm parcel sorting centre, which replaces a smaller nearby site, is located on an 18,000 sqm plot of land close to the A4 motorway. Equipped with a modern parcel sorting system, the facility can handle some 20,000 shipments per day on average, and up to 25,000 parcels a day at peak times. Some 40 GLS employees and 65 drivers will work at and out of the depot, a 25% increase in jobs compared to the former site.
“Perfect transportation connections, more space and a modern technical installation – the depot fulfils all the conditions for reliable and secure shipment handling,” declared Klaus Conrad, Managing Director of GLS Germany.
