OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. — Mahle Aftermarket G.m.b.H. has opened a highly automated warehouse in Olive Branch that it expects will speed up parts deliveries to repair shops and distributors, reduce the frequency of returns and enable an order to be processed within 30 minutes.
Mahle invested about $6.4 million in the 12,900-sq.-ft. fully automated facility. Additional warehouse locations in Europe will be similarly outfitted beginning in 2023.
"Mahle Aftermarket has been operating digitally in many areas for a long time now. We're building upon that with automated order-picking to better serve our customers," said Olaf Henning, a member of the Mahle Management Committee and director of the aftermarket business unit.
