Bocholt, 19 March 2025.<\/strong> The WM GROUP is realigning its service portfolio and organisation - with a clear focus on customised, industry-specific logistics solutions and profitable growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic orientation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The WM GROUP - together with Logata and Lanfer Automation & Robotics - is part of LB GmbH (L\u00f6hr family). In this structure, the WM GROUP forms the customer face, Logata provides the IT infrastructure including its own WMS, and Lanfer Automation & Robotics contributes automation and robotics expertise. This results in holistic solutions from physical logistics to control systems and automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service areas with depth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Trade logistics:<\/strong> Textile, consumer goods and DIY store logistics - including e-commerce processing for bulky goods (e.g. large-format tiles, awnings) with specialised packaging solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Industry & spare parts:<\/strong> Customised concepts for spare parts logistics - a key growth driver for the coming years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Temperature-controlled logistics:<\/strong> Operation of the largest cigar humidor in NRW for a leading tobacco manufacturer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Food Logistics & Transport:<\/strong> Daily distribution of baked goods with our own fleet of vehicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Organisational structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    At the beginning of the year, the WM GROUP was organised into five divisions: IT<\/strong>, Operating business<\/strong>, Project management<\/strong>, Process optimisation<\/strong> and Distribution<\/strong> (under the responsibility of Managing Director Ralf Kahnert). The aim is a lean, scalable organisation with clear responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Growth targets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Starting from around 45 million \u20ac annual turnover<\/strong> WM GROUP is striving for organic growth at 60 million \u20ac<\/strong> to. The plan is to achieve an annual increase of 5-7 million \u20ac<\/strong> by expanding existing partnerships and acquiring new customers - without \u201egrowth at any price\u201c. The focus is on sectors with a high demand for flexible warehousing and distribution, in particular the Mechanical and plant engineering<\/strong> (spare parts) and the Packaging logistics<\/strong> for sensitive and large-format products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    People & Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The WM GROUP is countering the shortage of skilled labour with training and retention - the family working atmosphere is having an effect: it is not uncommon for employees to recommend the company to others in their own environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
