When LogiMAT 2026 opens its doors from March 24 to 26, the industry will be looking to Stuttgart: At the international trade fair for intralogistics solutions and process management, more than 1,600 exhibitors will present their latest developments and services – from intelligent automation solutions to sustainable concepts for efficient warehousing. Right in the middle of it all: DACHSER.
“Passion meets know-how – Shaping the future of warehousing” is DACHSER’s motto at this year’s LogiMAT at booth C02 in hall 7. Thomas Klare, Head of Corporate Contract Logistics at DACHSER, comments: “Automation is an important lever for increasing efficiency in logistics. At the same time, DACHSER does not pursue ‘technologization at any price’. For us, it’s about the perfect interplay between technology, people, and processes.” The human factor continues to play a central role, especially when it comes to specific customer requirements. “We still see a great need for personal consultation and close support for contract logistics projects,” adds Thomas Klare. “After all, the commitment and many years of experience of our employees cannot be replaced.”

Innovations with added value
At LogiMAT in Stuttgart, DACHSER will provide insights into how automation and human expertise complement each other in the company, for example in small parts picking with AutoStore, handling promotional business with the display production system, cobots in picking, or efficient and resource-saving packaging with the shrink hood system. “These examples show how innovation brings practical added value: better services for customers and better working conditions for employees,” explains Thomas Klare.
At the trade fair booth, visitors can take a look inside a warehouse using a model of a DACHSER location and an augmented reality application, and have the technology and processes explained to them in a clear and concise manner.
Our goal is to create tailor-made contract logistics solutions for industrial and retail companies, combining transport, warehousing, and complementary services.
Strengthening the international network
In addition to integrating new technologies, DACHSER continues to focus on expanding its capacities with modern warehouses. Among other things, a new hazardous materials warehouse with an area of 23,500 square meters and space for 42,000 pallets went into operation in Rastatt, Germany. In Unna, near Dortmund in Germany, a warehouse with space for 22,000 pallets was completed at the end of 2025. In Waddinxveen, near Rotterdam in the Netherlands, a new food warehouse was built with space for around 17,000 pallets and three temperature zones: ambient, refrigerated, and frozen. In Parma in northern Italy, 12,200 square meters of warehouse space was also created for food, 2,000 square meters of which is refrigerated. DACHSER currently has a total of 2.6 million square meters of warehouse space with 3.8 million pallet spaces at 190 locations worldwide.
“Our goal is to create tailor-made contract logistics solutions for industrial and retail companies, combining transport, warehousing, and complementary services,” explains Thomas Klare. “This also includes a presence in key procurement and sales markets, with competent local and international teams who are on hand to provide our customers with advice and support.”
