Decathlon Germany is expanding its logistics site in Schwetzingen by 12,500 sqm. The new “Hall 0” will house a new mechanization concept intended to accelerate logistics processes and shipping volumes and is set to open in mid-2023. Schwetzingen is one of four Decathlon campus locations in Germany and is responsible for supplying 45 branches, now set t 55. It also handles the packaging and shipping of all online orders in Germany, Austria, Sweden, and Ireland. The new building should enable an increase of 25 million additional articles to be sent per year, on top of the existing 40 million articles sent annually. The expansion will bring the site area to 53,000 sqm – roughly comparable to seven soccer fields.
