The drugstore chain dm is building another distribution center in Upper Austria. In addition to the location in Enns, a second location is to be built in the Kronstorf industrial area by the beginning of 2027, as the company announced on Wednesday. 300 people will be employed there.
“The continued strong customer response from our customers is pushing our existing distribution center in Enns and the logistics in the dm Group Austria to the limits of their capabilities,” says dm Managing Director Stefan Heiglauer: “We no longer have any expansion options at the Enns location, and also Every modernization measure in the existing building is a challenge because every square meter is needed for ongoing operations.” Against this background, plans are being made to build a second distribution center in order to improve logistics capacities.
dm has contractually secured a plot of land in the dedicated commercial area of Kronstorf, with a direct connection to the high-level road network via the B309. Before the design and submission planning is completed, some open questions still need to be clarified, dm said. Nothing has yet been announced about the investment amount. According to reports, the amount is likely to be in the low three-digit million range.
