Gabriel-Chemie has broken ground on the expansion of its warehouse capacity at the headquarters in Gumpoldskirchen, Austria.

The plan is to enlarge the existing warehouse by approximately 3,200 m². This measure is in line with the company commitment to environmental protection and sustainability, as all existing green areas will be preserved. This expansion will be accompanied by a new traffic concept equipped with technical filters to avoid contamination.
Inside the new building, a flexible rack system will be installed, providing an additional 5,000 pallet spaces. This will make open air storage spaces obsolete in future. As a result, the Gumpoldskirchen site will further strengthen its role for the Gabriel-Chemie Group, especially in the field of supply chain and logistics. Additionally, the building will be equipped with a photovoltaic system contributing an additional 320 kWp to the existing 881 kWp installation.
Gabriel-Chemie CFOO Andreas Berger said: "This warehouse extension, requiring an investment of €7 million, underscores our commitment to further strengthen Gabriel-Chemie‘s position as a future-oriented masterbatch manufacturer."
