Consumer goods manufacturer Beiersdorf is investing more than 200 million euros in a new logistics center in Leipzig. Completion and commissioning are planned for 2027, the Hamburg-based DAX-listed company announced at the symbolic ground-breaking ceremony. The state-of-the-art logistics center will create a total of around 450 new jobs. Beiersdorf is known for its Nivea and Labello brands, among others.
Second major project in a short space of time
In September last year, the company opened a new production center for around 300 million euros in the north of Leipzig. According to Beiersdorf, the two major projects are "a clear commitment to Germany as a business location". Together, they are "the largest investment the company has ever made at one location". The new logistics center on the 12.5-hectare site will act as a central European hub in the future. "Leipzig is ideally located for our supply chain network and for connecting our customers in Central Europe," says Head of Germany Christian Haensch.
