CERATIZIT Business Services GmbH was founded in 2002. Due to the strong growth of the CERATIZIT Group, a new 17,000-square-metre large logistics centre was opened in Kempten in September 2021. In terms of energy efficiency, this centre meets the highest standards. The energy demand is almost exclusively covered by solar energy. The logistics centre is one of the most modern in the industry worldwide. The goods are transported exclusively by renowned transport companies that can prove their carbon footprint and implement measures to reduce it.
Not only was the actual building built with sustainability in mind, but more sustainable alternatives were also used for the maintenance of the building and grounds. Since 2023, the staff base has grown and includes several rental sheep, which is an unconventional but more sustainable way to keep the grass at the right length.
The four-legged friends share the space with some beehives and thus enliven the grounds.
