The fire protection specialists of the Wagner Group have been honored with the "GIT Safety Award 2026" for their "OxyReduct F-Line." The system expands the OxyReduct process with H2- based fuel cell technology, which simultaneously ensures emission-free energy supply.

Temperature-controlled at the motorway junction
Movianto, a logistics service provider specializing in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, is setting up a new cold storage facility in Wiesloch-Walldorf this month. A photovoltaic system there produces approximately 3,100 MWh per year, more electricity than the site consumes.

Fusion reactor in creep mode
Despite all the political turmoil currently shaking the world, work on the ITER fusion reactor, in which countless nations are involved, continues – much like on the ISS. Recently, another of the 15-meter-high segments for the future plasma chamber was delivered by heavy-duty transport.

Optio L-Series updated
Developed with the user in mind, the completely redesigned generation of low-level order pickers in the Optio L series from TMHE sets new standards. Increased platform lifting heights, low entry, and versatile model variants for loads up to 2.5 t make these devices highly sought-after helpers.

Cold chain in transition: Ambitious goals
Temperature-controlled logistics is facing an energy revolution: battery-electric trucks, long-range hydrogen vehicles, and cryogenic cooling with nitrogen are transforming the industry. Enough "material" for the SVTL to discuss future processes and alternatives at Galliker in Altishofen.

DLR expands drone defense
While Russian drones have long been surveying German bases and critical infrastructures as potential targets for their “ asymmetric warfare ” a project called CUSTODIAN (Counter-UAS Technologies for Detection, Interception and Neutralization) is now slowly gaining momentum at the DLR.

ASTAG and GS1 to go green together

High security in the lowlands
High security in the lowlands
In Lower Saxony, as the name suggests, the terrain is somewhat flatter. Nevertheless, the logistics real estate provider Garbe is currently setting up a facility that will facilitate the storage and archiving of millions of files for the company "Iron Mountain."
The Hamburg-based project developer is investing €18.6 million in the site. "The fact that we were able to fully lease the property during the construction phase and conclude a long-term lease with Iron Mountain Germany demonstrates how attractive the location is and how high-quality the property is,"
emphasizes Jan Dietrich Hempel, Managing Director of Garbe Industrial Real Estate.
The new building is being constructed on a 30,500 square meter site in the Harsumer Neufeld industrial park and will have a usable area of approximately 17,000 square meters, which Iron Mountain has allocated for the
Storage of files, documents, data storage media and assets. Customers include
Banks, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and the public sector. According to Jan Dietrich Hempel, the decisive factor for the lease was, among other things, the height of the property (10.50 m) to accommodate the shelves required for document storage. The new building will be equipped with two ground-level sectional doors and 17 loading ramps. Parking spaces for approximately 40 vehicles will be created outside. A solar panel will be installed on the roof to generate renewable energy.
Photovoltaic system installed. The new building is scheduled to be completed in early June.
