The young fashion enthusiasts visited the logistics experts at Fiege in the context of their product management and marketing course.
Ralf Schulze explained the pros and cons of hanging garments vs. flat textile goods.
Hanno Reekers guided the students through the many floors and demonstrated to them how 15,000 square metres of space are turned into 30,000 square metres dedicated to logistics.
Baby formula, luxury articles, but also fashion items from Germany are in great demand in China. The students browsed the racks storing goods destined for Chinese end consumers.
Good logistics are the decisive factor. Parcels need to reach the customer in no time. “If customers have to wait three days before receiving their parcel, a look at their bank account might tell them that they no longer want the goods”, explains Hanno Reekers.
