Damstahl, a Germany-based distributor of stainless steel products, has commissioned the third new high-bay warehouse it has built since 2023 to replace old facilities, Kallanish notes.

At its headquarters in Langenfeld near Düsseldorf, it inaugurated the site’s second high-bay warehouse this month, after completion in early October. The first one started operation already in July 2024.

In June, Damstahl opened a high-bay warehouse at its Danish site in Skanderborg, which has a storage capacity of 10,000 tonnes – about one third of the site’s sales in Denmark. It consists of 3,800 cassettes, at a length of 100 metres and height of 12m. Companies involved in the construction were engineering company Gråkjær, high bay supplier Fehr, and project coordinator n Langebæk A/S.

The warehouses in Langenfeld have a height of 20m with 3,800 cassettes, and a capacity of 13,300t. The units replaced older warehouses that could not keep up with today’s requirements and ambitions, and facilitate faster delivery times, the company says. The new facilities provide 50% more capacity for the storage of long products, while the Danish site handles mainly sheet products.

Michael Lund, chief executive of Damstahl group, notes the facilities were designed with sustainability as a significant factor, with solar modules accounting for 30% of the warehouses’ energy consumption. The building of three new warehouse systems in a short period was the biggest investment in the company’s 65-year history, he adds.

The inauguration of the second Langenfeld high-bay warehouse coincided with the celebration of Damstahl’s 65th anniversary this month. Founded in 1960, the company is part of the Neumo Ehrenberg Gruppe, which is also active in aseptic and sterile fluid handling, and precision tools production. Damstahl has 300 employees and annual revenue of some €560 million ($648m).
