Ahlers, a leading provider of solutions beyond logistics, today announces a substantial investment of 13.2 million euro into building additional new warehousing facilities on their territory in the Saint Petersburg area, Russia. This latest project strengthens Ahlers' expansion strategy in Russia and CIS, adding to its existing presence in leading warehouses located in Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Chelyabinsk and Novosibirsk.

This will allow Ahlers to meet the increasing demand in a booming e-commerce market, supporting its customers with same-day deliveries, offering a successful go-to-market strategy. The new warehouse facility will serve their customers with even more quality storage, meeting the highest industry standards.

Ahlers - warehouse

The construction project consists of an A-class warehouse of 21.000 m2, corresponding to 33.000 new pallet positions on top of the 60.000 already existing positions. This adds 50% to the total Saint-Petersburg warehousing footprint in ownership of Ahlers - excluding another 5.000 extra pallet positions under the canopies and 15.000 m² outside space. Ahlers also has several external rented locations in Saint Petersburg, used for specific warehousing operations in Shushary and Utkina Zavod.
