The facility was commissioned to help IKEA handle its B2C online business in Germany, which grew during the Covid-19 pandemic. The multi-customer site in Bergkamen has 40,000m2 of warehouse space and is part of the neighboring DHL Supply Chain Unna Campus, which is 10km away. Going forward, 20,000m2 of warehouse space will be available for IKEA alone, with some 350 employees working for the customer on-site six days a week in three shifts. The site will be fully operational at the end of June 2022, at which point an average of 8,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs) will be processed on-site. At full capacity, the site is capable of processing 11,000 SKUs.
