With the launch of the warehouse, the service portfolio will expand to include storage and related services. In addition to the standard process, Raben offers the client many new solutions, thanks to which the handling of the client's goods is optimized.

- Thanks to Raben, we have a reliable logistics partner by our side who tailors solutions exactly to our needs" – says Dieter Grajer, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and member of the board of Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG. - Furthermore, we are united by an awareness of social responsibility, values, and a focus on protecting the climate and the environment. This makes our partnership particularly valuable and goes beyond logistics.

Raben Logistics Polska currently has approximately 560,000 m2 of warehouse space. By investing in new facilities and modernizing older ones every year, the company focuses on energy efficiency. Its facilities use solutions such as: LED lighting and automatic lighting control systems (via motion detection and daylight measurement) combined with skylights providing access to natural light; gas heating based on radiators with increased radiation efficiency; thermal insulation of hydraulic ramp platforms; mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, as well as power generators covering 100% of the electricity demand.

Additionally, as a socially responsible company, Raben takes a number of actions to meet climate challenges in the long term. In addition to using a range of ecological solutions in warehouses regarding the saving of natural resources or the purchase of green energy, the fleet is also systematically replaced to meet the latest requirements regarding greenhouse gas emissions.

- The motto “Your partner in logistics” that has accompanied us for years is not just a slogan, but a promise made to our clients. We are committed to providing them with the highest quality services and meeting their needs, but we also want to help them build a competitive advantage in the market together with them. Thanks to this approach, clients often stay with us for many years. We hope that this will also be the case with Kärcher. – said Ewald Raben, CEO of Raben Group – Especially since we are united by common values and a green approach to business.
