TRANSCO builds logistics center

The TRANSCO Group is building a new logistics center on the outskirts of Singen am Hohentwiel (Baden-Württemberg), close to the Swiss border, which is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. The 52,000 m² site will feature 22,000 m² of storage space, a modern high-bay warehouse, an Autostore® system, and a large hazardous materials warehouse. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on September 19. With an investment of around €40 million, TRANSCO is significantly expanding its capacities and positioning itself as a key partner for complex supply chains in international freight transport.

The new building is a strategic response to trends such as e-commerce growth, nearshoring, and increasing sustainability requirements. TRANSCO relies on automated systems, flexible storage concepts, and the highest safety standards. Among other things, the site includes a hazardous materials warehouse with a gas warning system and gas extinguishing system that is unique in the region, making it particularly attractive for industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and aviation.

The logistics center is located on the eastern outskirts of Singen, in close proximity to the local industrial cluster and around 10 km from the Swiss border. Its proximity to the highway and the Hupac terminal for freight rail transport in Singen ensures close integration with international transport routes by road and rail. This strengthens TRANSCO’s expertise in intermodal transport. Swiss companies expanding into the EU benefit from fast and smooth processes, as do regionally based companies.

“Logistics today is more than just warehousing; it is a competitive advantage,” adds David Bücheler, co-owner and Head of Logistics at TRANSCO. „Those who set up their supply chain efficiently can reduce costs, shorten delivery times, and increase customer satisfaction. With transport, warehouse logistics, customs clearance, and e-fulfillment, we cover the entire supply chain. For our customers, this means one point of contact, fewer interfaces, and less complexity.“

For TRANSCO, sustainability means more than just environmental protection. The new building complies with the BEG-40 standard. Photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, and over 200 newly planted trees and 3,500 m² of habitat area for flora and fauna are all part of the concept. At the same time, modern equipment with automated storage and process solutions increases economic efficiency. Efficient use of space, short distances, and optimized processes ensure lower operating costs and stable prices. This benefits both TRANSCO and its customers.
