Volvo Group and GEODIS Open New Central Warehouse in Malsfeld

The Volvo Group has launched a new Support Distribution Center in Germany. In collaboration with logistics partner GEODIS, a new central warehouse for the Volvo Group has been established in Malsfeld, North Hesse, covering an area of approximately 5,000 square meters. Here, parts for Volvo Trucks are stored and redistributed.

(Ismaning/Malsfeld) Peter Devos, Vice President Service Market Logistics Volvo Group Europe, comments: “The partnership with GEODIS is based on transparency and mutual respect. Together, we strive to continuously improve service. This is a real milestone in our efforts to further develop processes in service market logistics and increase value for all customers of the Volvo Group in Germany.”

A variable number of employees ensures the smooth management of over 30,000 stored products in the new central warehouse. Approximately 1,000 orders are packed and shipped daily. Through overnight service, parts are delivered to dealers and workshops nationwide the next day – even on weekends.

Emergency Service Available 365 Days a Year, 24/7

A special service has been established with the “Call-Out Service” for emergencies available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Antje Lochmann, Managing Director GEODIS in Germany: “We are very pleased to have gained a professional partner in the premium segment of commercial vehicle manufacturers with the Volvo Group and to be able to expand this constructive partnership in the coming years. The creation of additional space at the Malsfeld location for the Volvo Group in a central location in Germany is part of our strategy to support customers in the automotive sector in the area of spare parts.”

Setting the Course for a Successful Future

With this investment, the brands of the Volvo Group in Germany not only increase customer satisfaction but also improve the quality of delivery, ensuring that trucks and buses can quickly resume their service. With optimal connections to important German transport routes and faster availability through later and uniform order deadlines, the Swedish company has set the course for a successful future for its business areas. Additionally, the option for self-pickup increases flexibility. By shortening delivery routes, a noticeable reduction in CO₂ emissions is also aimed for.
