Cosmetics manufacturer Beiersdorf plans to begin operations at its new logistics center in Leipzig in the summer of 2027. Construction, which has been underway for two years, is on schedule, said project manager Björn Schwarz. The center will replace a facility in Hamburg. Up to 450 jobs are expected to be created in Leipzig over the next few years.
The logistics center will serve customers in Germany and Switzerland—two of the Beiersdorf Group’s most important markets. Customers include bulk buyers such as drugstore chains, as well as small pharmacies that order only a few packages, Schwarz explained. The goods will be picked, packed, and shipped from Leipzig.
