The move to the logistics centre in Parsdorf near Munich provides larger office space and adjoining warehouse facilities. The centralisation of administration and warehousing and the areal expansion lead to even faster and more efficient logistics.

Four years later Hummel opens a new warehouse in Nuremberg.
