Since then, around 550 employees have been preparing the worldwide shipment of Mercedes-Benz vehicle parts via the major German seaports in the logistics centre, which covers an area of around 80,000m\u00b2, using the \u201cCompletely Knocked Down\u201d (CKD)* method. According to Matthias Klawitter, Head of Mobility at BLG LOGISTICS and project manager of the C3 Bremen, which is run by his company, three qualities merge in the property. \u201cAt the C3, we have brought together the customer\u2019s high demands on us as a logistics service provider, environmental protection and sustainability, as well as an attractive environment for our employees.\u201d This is also reflected in the property’s name \u2013 the three Cs stand for Customer, Climate and Comfort.<\/p>\n
Customer means the best possible inventory management according to the customer\u2019s requirements. In this specific case, it applies to the needs of Mercedes-Benz. This also includes an array of technologies that feature a high degree of modular automation and digitalisation, such as a driverless transport system, automatic pallet preparation, smart conveyor technology and a put-to-light system to avoid incorrect packaging. Climate, meanwhile, refers to the fact that there is a sophisticated sustainability strategy behind the logistics centre, at the heart of which is Germany\u2019s largest uninterrupted rooftop photovoltaic system that extends over the entire logistics centre roof and generates 8.4 million kilowatt hours of solar power annually. This could supply 2,400 households with energy over this period. A holistic heating, hot water and ventilation concept, as well as comprehensive thermal insulation and smart lighting control, complement this environmentally friendly system. Behind the third C \u2013 Comfort \u2013 is the goal of creating the most pleasant working environment possible for the employees. This is achieved, for example, with an orchard containing native trees and a park with a pond designed as a dune landscape. Generous window elements and roof light strips, as well as moss walls and elements within the interior, also ensure a real feel-good climate.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

This made us the first German logistics service provider with a scientifically recognised climate protection target.\u201d <\/p>\n The Mercedes-Benz Group likes the logistics centre\u2019s holistic concept so much that it presented BLG and C3 Bremen with its \u201cSupplier Award 2023\u201d in the \u201cSustainability\u201d category in July. Magnor accepted the award in front of around 500 participants at the Mercedes-Benz Customer Centre in Sindelfingen. \u201cThis award means a lot to us,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause the C3 Bremen is the outstanding result of our 30-year collaboration with the Mercedes-Benz Group. We\u2019re honoured to provide our services to a partner with whom we can complete such ambitious and pioneering projects for the future.\u201d <\/p>\n The experience gained from building the C3 Bremen will allow further such projects and logistics properties to be initiated in the future. However, BLG LOGISTICS is being tight-lipped about just how and where this will happen. “We\u2019ve got various ideas but we’re not ready to go public yet,\u201d says Klawitter.
