AUER Packaging: Start of construction of the Auer logistics center in Amerang

"2021 has the big headline for us: Logistics Center. We are very pleased that we can now get started with construction after intensive planning."

Implementation of the ambitious site expansion continues apace. After the commissioning of production hall 3 in the fall of 2020, the construction of the new logistics center will now follow on the Auer site, which now covers around 83,000 square meters.
