The state-of-the-art warehouse with Autostore technology and new office space can accommodate about 120 employees. The facility sets the stage for continued growth in the region.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are investing in this facility with complete conviction. A decades-long success story ties us to Hamburg. We have had a presence here for nearly 50 years,\u201d said Dr. Matthias Sckuhr, CEO of Freudenberg Sealing Technologies in his opening address. \u201cTogether with our partners, we have constructed a building that sets new standards \u2013 in the fields of warehousing, digitalization and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Hamburg-Wandsbek, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies supplies original equipment manufacturers in the general industry sector as well as well-known customers in the technical trade. The move to the city\u2019s east side is occurring because the current space has not kept pace with the growth in orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new warehouse has about 8,800 square meters (94,700 square feet) of space, or about 30 percent more usable space than its predecessor. Its&nbsp; Autostore technology maximizes warehouse capacity by providing higher density for equivalent footprints. It thus offers three to four times the warehousing capacity of a manual facility. In a semi-automated process, 22 robots convey up to 65,000 containers in and out through 13 different ports. Today, thanks to the new technology, more than 30,000 pre-stored articles are picked more quickly and efficiently, accelerating shipments to the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the facility was reconceived, a high value was placed on sustainability and energy efficiency, with a focus on photovoltaics, district heating, green roofing and an energy-efficient Autostore system, among other features. The new facility meets the requirements for gold certification set by the German Sustainable Building Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 70 guests from the local political and business communities as well as&nbsp; the Freudenberg Group were invited to the dedication. Aside from Dr. Sckuhr, the speakers included Dr. Andreas Dressel, Hamburg\u2019s senator for finance. A tour of the new spaces and a social gathering followed the official ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-1\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"21836\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"ip\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-thumbs-up\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 19, 2025, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies officially inaugurated a new facility in Hamburg.
