EURO 40million project to expand logistics site in Germany

The Geberit Group, which has recently made a bid for Sanitec, is investing 40million in increasing its logistics capacities in Pfullendorf in south Germany.

The site will be expanded due to positive development of the business, plus the need for increased capacity to be able to fulfil orders for the international markets served. 

Geberit supplies over 100 countries from its Pfullendorf base and construction is due to begin in spring 2015.
