Dear Reader,
It is time to look forward: The Ifo business climate indictaors continued
to improve in Q2 2010; particularly in Asia, where the indicator rose rapidly.
Experts assess the upcoming economic situation for the second half of 2010
as positive. In our company, too, the order backlog and expected business
confirm this prognosis. Retail dealers, in particular, have increased their investment readiness. The recovery of the global economy must now be supported
by corporate responsibility: quality production, environmental protection and
humane working conditions worldwide. Wanzl fully stands by this responsibility
and also sees a binding obligation to its customers, partners and employees.
In addition to markets in Europe, the Middle East and South America,
Wanzl's sights are, of course, also set on Asia. And especially on China, with
its prospering consumer market which will be the global leader in around ten
years' time. Wanzl has already been active in China's strongly expanding international and national trade for over a decade, with its own local branch. In
2007, the new 25,000 square-metre production plant opened, working to the
latest European quality standards. In a few months it will be time for the next
Wanzl commitment in China: our new surface coating facility will go into oper­
ation. As with all Wanzl facilities, this latest investment in China will also be
subject to the highest quality requirements for perfect surface coating and
the strictest conditions to protect the environment and employees. Products
by Wanzl are always a guarantee and a promise for top-class quality worldwide. Learn more about this 'made by Wanzl' quality and innovation requirement in the current issue of Wanzl Worldwide, as well as about the activities
of the Wanzl business divisions Self-Service Systems, Displays, Shopfitting,
Hotel Service, Passenger Handling Services as well as Logistics + Industry.
You can experience this innovative strength 'live' at the new Wanzl
CreativeCenter. Wanzl bids you a warm welcome!
Enjoy the read!

"Sheer driving pleasure"
The brand identity of BMW
The construction of a brand identity becomes visible in the
BMW brand example: the 'pleasure' company mission identifies the inner core of the brand, the words 'dynamic', 'challeng­
ing' and 'cultivated' show what the BMW brand stands for.
The brand identity expresses the formative nature and char­
acteristic attributes of a brand and explains what a brand
stands for. It defines the self-appreciation, the appearance
and the behaviour of the brand for its customers.* The cus­
tomer benefits that the brand is supposed to achieve from
the perspective of the provider and the specific competencies
of the brand take centre stage.

Added value through strong brands
Could you briefly introduce us to the brand topic?
Prof. Dr. Gerti Papesch: As long ago as in antiquity, manu­fac­
turers branded their goods to show their origin and identity.
With increasing industrialisation, the branding of products
increased too, in order to make goods desirable compared to
unbranded products and to position them differently. In the
past few decades, the importance of brands has increased
significantly. Reasons for this increase in importance can,
for one, be found in market-related frameworks, such as the
­growing product and brand diversity or in the increasing
exchangeability of products, for example. Enterprise objectives are also naturally affected by market growth, and the
increase of value.
So, an established brand means greater market success?
Studies substantiate the advantages of strong brands: they
have higher operating ratios than weaker brands, offer good
opportunities for growth as well as for capitalisation through
brand expansion and have high brand loyalty. Strong brands
are deeply anchored in the memory structures of consumers.
For example, Shell is a strong brand: merely
the sight of the stylised shell trademark
(which has been developed over more than a
century) is enough for the customer to link
this symbol to the Shell name. A brand is an
image of a product present in the psyche of
the customer. Brands are therefore benefit
bundles that are composed of functional prop­
erties such as quality or origin, and symbolic
properties such as brand names or the char­
ac­­ter of the brand. And the stronger the
functional and symbolic properties of a brand
differentiate themselves from competitors'
offers, the more distinct the brand becomes
and the more the brand value grows.

­differentiator between companies. Brand equity is now a key asset."
FORTUNE MAGAZINE
› Can you substantiate an example of a
brand?
Let's take an arbitrary product such as
­trainers: a normal pair of trainers from the
supermarket cost around 20 euros. A pair of
trainers by Puma, Nike or Asics cost around
five times as much. There are many possible
reasons for this, for example, the choice of
material, the processing or the ergonomics –
but one reason is very clear: the targeted
branding over decades. The high value brand
has managed to build and maintain a stable,
long-term and enduring brand-customer relationship in order to increase the brand value.
The tasks of branding included the development of a brand identity are brand position­
ing, the designing of the brand, as well as
the construction of brand awareness and
brand image.
What do you have to do to make a brand successful?
Defining brand identity is the foundation of branding: brand
identity creates the customer's trust in the brand, which leads
to customer and brand loyalty. BMW, for example, masters
these tasks perfectly. In order to allow brand identity to have
an outward effect, it has to be positioned. Positioning ensures
that the brand is both attractive and unique and that it is
significantly set apart from competitors' brands in the eyes of
consumers and is therefore preferable to them. Brand identity
and positioning create the framework for the design and firm
establishment of the brand in the form of brand names and
trademarks. Branding gives the brand its unmistakable look
and helps produce the desired associations with consumers
and to speed up the construction of brand recognition and
image. The best example is Coca-Cola. Instruments of mass
communication such as advertising, but also flagship stores
or brand lands help establish the brand. Successful brands
don't have customers, but have fans instead.

Strategy brand
The Wanzl brand through the ages
Mostly there are combinations of brand strategies in
­companies, such as Henkel as an umbrella brand in the background and Persil as a single brand, for example. Henkel has
three globally active enterprise divisions: washing and cleaning
products, cosmetics/personal hygiene as well as Adhesive
Technologies with a total of around 90 single brands, such
as Pril, ATA, Schwarzkopf, Fa or Pattex.

Th
Today, the brand stands for the seven business divisions of
Self-Service Systems, Displays, Shopfitting, Hotel Service,
Passenger Handling Services, Security Products and
Logistics + Industry.
What does that mean for branding in the 21st century?
Whether companies are facing the decision to introduce new
brands or to restructure existing brands, a suitable market
strategy has to be chosen. This offers three basic strategic
options: the single brand strategy, the family brand strategy
or the enterprise brand strategy. Which strategy a company
chooses depends on the calibre of the company, the needs
of the target group and the competitive environment. The
basic strategic options in their purest form are seldom used
in practice. Mostly there are strategic combinations such as
Henkel as an umbrella brand and Persil as a single brand, for
example, in order to satisfy the needs of the target group.
And it is to these needs that the branding ultimately has to
orientate itself in order to build strong and successful brands.

Self-Service Systems Consumerism!
U1: revival of the fifties
The 1950s: Germany were football world champions,
Chancellor Adenauer integrated West Germany in the
Western community and the economic miracle began.
From the mid-1950s, private purchasing power increased
rapidly whilst living costs remained static. So, there was
more money left over for consumerism and the Germans
went on a real spending spree: furniture, cars, holidays,
electronic devices. ‘Prosperity for all‘ was the maxim of the
time – anybody who works hard should be able to treat
themselves.
The U1 decoration team transported this zeitgeist into the
21st century: in Spring 2010, the ‘1950s style consum­erism‘
lifestyle found its way into selected shop windows and special
instore areas of 30 U1 stores in Germany for
two months. The U1 decoration team led by
Philipp Ketterl had many great ideas. "The
consumerism of the 1950s was progressive
and aggressive. The comfortable prosperity
in the privacy of one's own home with canned
food, coffee filters, washing powder and hair
products from the supermarkets was mixed
with a rebellious youth culture." Jeans and
rock 'n' roll are in­sep­a­rably linked to this era.
"It is exactly this attitude to life like James
Dean and Elvis Presley that we are projecting
in the U1 stores." ›

› Because of trademark laws, the U1 decoration team outlined a new, unique range of goods of a supermarket designed
in 1950s style. And it was exactly at this time that self-service
found its feet – and shopping trolleys began their triumphant
advance around the world.
In 2010, U1 decided on the current plastic shopping trolley
'Tango' by Wanzl. "We wanted to consciously create a modern
contrast to the design ideas of the 1950s", says Philipp
Ketterl. "The modern shape of the 'Tango' shopping trolley in
its sparkling ultramarine blue was simply perfect. Just as ideal
as the high basket volume of 220 litres, which offered a great
deal of space for the presentation of the current U1 fashion­
wear." 185 'Tango' shopping trolleys by Wanzl presented in
45 of the U1 shop windows as well as the instore design idea
'1950s consumerism'. Hanging signs in 1950s style drew extra
attention to special offers. Every U1 store was also designed
according to a script precisely designed by decorative experts.
Fashion, lifestyle, music – the 1950‘s idea was very well
received by the predominantly young U1 customers.

International meeting point for
supply and demand
Worldwide, the range of trade fairs is
huge: Today, nearly every industry has not
just one but several trade fairs on offer in
various trade exhibition centres. However,
there are only very few real leading trade
fairs. The question is, when can a trade fair
be described as a leading trade fair? If it has
the most visitors? If it achieves the greatest
media impact? No, it's not that simple. In the
trade fair industry, it is agreed that a trade
fair can only be classed as a leader if it simultaneously meets several criteria: It must be
the greatest of its kind in its trade fair topic
or market sector according to three criteria:
firstly, regarding the number of visitors and
exhibitors worldwide, secondly, regarding the
completeness of range and, thirdly, regarding
its degree of internationality. Leading trade
fairs are regarded as unique industry pioneers
and showcase industry trends, whereby
the internationally relevant supply must be
re­flected by international demand.
Amongst the total of around 150 truly leading trade fairs
worldwide, approximately two thirds take place at German
trade fair centres. For example, the Düsseldorf Messe stages
40 trade fairs, of which 20 alone are the worldwide number 1
in their industry. The best example is EuroShop, The Global
Retail Fair. Since it first took place in 1966, EuroShop has
devel­oped into a worldwide leader in trade fairs for capital
goods for the trade. It sets the standard in quality, diversity
and internationality. The continuing growth of EuroShop
during the last four decades can be primarily traced to the
fact that it has consistently adapted itself to the changing
needs of this trade. Its range has been constantly developed
and expanded. EuroShop is also an impressive further attes­
tation to the trend that has seen trade fairs growing into
much more than their original function, of bringing together
supply and demand. Forums for ideas and opinions develop
from the ‘trade fair marketing instrument‘. EuroShop is an
industry event that has become both a trend barometer and
a platform for innovation through the integration of new
themes, every three years.

Expo 2010
"Better City, Better Life"
Since the start of May, the Expo 2010 in Shanghai has
dedicated itself to the urban challenges of the 21st century:
China has chosen "Better City, Better Life" as its main theme.
Because precisely in the Expo 2010 host country, the country
with the most ‘megacities‘ in the world, these challenges
become evident. Consequently, the Expo site, spanning more
than five square kilometres, is situated only around five kilometres south of Shanghai city centre.
One of the main attractions – named Expo Axis – is a
1,000 metre-long central boulevard. This leads to five theme
pavilions, which are dedicated to various aspects of urban de-­
vel­opment: 'Urban Footprints', 'Urban Planet', 'Urban Dwellers',
'Urban Beings' and 'Urban Dreams'. A further central place of
interest is the Chinese Pavilion with 80,000 square metres of
exhibition space. Here the entrance hall, a connecting element
between the country pavilions of the participating states and
organisations, can be found.
Additionally, the Expo 2010 is a world
­exhibition of superlatives: China is expect­
ing up to 70 million visitors, including approx.
3.5 million guests from abroad. With around
240 participant states, including countries
such as Germany and its neighbour states
Switzerland, Austria, France and Poland as
well as international organisations such as the
Red Cross and the United Nations, the Expo
Shanghai has already reached world record
proportions. The Expo 2010 will be open until
the end of October.

On the way to becoming the largest
consumer market in the world
The Middle Kingdom is booming: completely unaffected
by recent economic upheaval, the Chinese retail industry continues to demonstrate growth rates in double figures, com­
pared to previous years. Economists forecast an increase of
16 % for 2010. The dramatic increase in household incomes
over the last decade – an impressive 98 % among the middle
classes – and the decrease in private savings rates, especially
among the younger generation, are driving China's consumption. Average consumer spending per capita currently stands
at around EUR 70 a month, with a great deal of upward
potential. China has now launched an economic stimulus programme especially for farmers to purchase consumer goods.
The state pays the farmer 13 % of the purchase price, in cash.
This incentive programme has been set up for a period of four
years to revive domestic demand. By 2020, the Chinese pro-
portion of worldwide consumption is set to
rise from the current 8 % to 21 %. This will
make China the joint largest consumer market in the world alongside the USA. Just like
consumption, expansion in retail is forging
ahead unabated. Carrefour is planning 20 new
stores this year, with similar progress ex­pected by Walmart. The retailer CR Vanguard
from Shenzhen increased its presence in
China by 380 stores last year alone. And the
largest Chinese retailers Gome, Suning and
Bailian continue on their growth course.

During that time, Wanzl has supplied
prod­ucts including over 4,000 shopping trolleys with various basket volumes to Tianhong.
Current orders have been placed in 2010 by
the Tianhong stores in Beijing and Dongguan.
Chaoshifa has so far ordered over 3,000
shopping and transport trolleys. The most
recent Wanzl deliveries went to Chaoshifa
stores in Hanjiachuan, Zhangjiakou and
Chende.
Dairy Farm, one of Asia's leading retailers
and the market leader in Hong Kong, has been
a Wanzl customer for more than 15 years.
To date, Dairy Farm has ordered in excess of
45,000 shopping trolleys, with Wanzl China

New PoS presence for Nobby
Our love of animals is booming. One of the best exam­
ples of this affection are the Germans, with a third of house­
holds owning one or more pets. The market catering to our
love of animals offers great potential, and is characterised by
the increasing importance of sophisticated merchandise
pres­entation and brand staging at the PoS. Nobby Pet Shop
GmbH, based in Bocholt in Germany, supplies the German
market for pet products and European wholesalers with more
than 6,000 products for dogs, cats, rodents and birds and is
well aware of the importance of creating the right presence at
the PoS. As such, Nobby is using the Wanzl ‘POSsibility’ display
to continuously showcase more than 90 different snacks for
dogs, cats and rodents at secondary locations in the German
pet market. The displays are delivered fully stocked and can
be regularly refilled by Nobby employees as required. Melanie
Felix, CEO of Nobby, explains: "We selected ‘POSsibility’
because Wanzl developed the display to our precise wishes
and requirements. For us, the eye-catching display results in
targeted impulse buying, thereby increasing sales opportunities
and brand loyalty."

Wanzl supplied four ‘POSsibility’ shopin-shop systems, each 2.80 metres long

It's all about food here. There are now six føtex food stores
in Denmark, each opening up a whole new world for gourmets and customers who appreciate high-quality food. The
fresh meat section, the bakery with its fresh crusty bread and
croissants, the exquisite choice of fine wines and the unique
scent of the fruit and vegetable section, with its extensive
range of hand-picked specialities from selected international
producers, all make shopping a special experience. Nowhere
else between Kattegat and Skagerrak can customers find this
level of quality combined with such product philosophy and
variety. And all at affordable prices. føtex food's mission is to
supply its customers with high-quality, fresh food for their
daily needs. Many Danish customers appreciate this promise,
after all, we are what we eat and drink. Dis­
cerning food shoppers have questions and
want to try samples before they buy. To meet
this need, various events are held each Friday
afternoon, giving customers the opportunity
to meet their trusted butcher in person,
and sample seasonal fruit and vegetables.
They can also try the ‘wines of the week’ in
the wine section. If customers have any
­questions, the trained sales personnel are
bound to know the answers. >

LONE MADSEN, føtex food customer
føtex
The first føtex store was opened in 1960 in Århus and was
a vision of modernity. Never before had Denmark seen so
many product ranges all under one roof: high-quality groceries,
fresh produce such as fruit and vegetables and even clothing
and home textiles.
The store was just like the US supermarkets on which it
was based. The man behind føtex was Herman Salling. Salling
revolutionised the way people shopped in Denmark and came
up with the name føtex: a combination of the words ‘fødevarer’
(food) and ‘textil’ (textiles). Salling's decision to open his first
store was a brave one – he had a starting capital of just
800 Danish Krone (EUR 107). But he who dares, wins: Just
one month after opening, turnover at the store reached an
impressive 4,000 Danish Krone (approx. EUR 537).
Today, it takes less than 10 seconds to generate this
amount at føtex. There are now 77 føtex stores and six føtex
food stores in Denmark. føtex belongs to the Dansk Super­
marked Gruppen, Denmark's biggest retail chain.

Shopfitting Store concepts
Mercator is one of the largest and most successful
retail chains in south-eastern Europe and market
leader in Slovenia.
The retailer is also very active in Serbia, Croatia and
Bosnia-Herzegovina. And the commitment to south-eastern
Europe continues: in 2007, Mercator entered Montenegro,
followed by Bulgaria and Albania two years later. Mercator
invests primarily in large shopping centres in the capital cities
as well as in smaller regional markets.
Aleksandra Kocmut, Director of Sales Format Development

Mercator.
Would you tell us more about the shopfitting concept of
Mercator?
Since Mercator opened its first shopping centres and hypermarkets, we have cultivated an intensive co-operation strategy
with manufacturers and suppliers of shopfitting solutions. We
continually work on attractive and enticing market concepts
for our customers. We have never been satisfied with ordinary instore ideas. We look for
the ideal solution and actively involve our­
selves with our experience and know-how in
all the planning and development phases.
What does the Mercator strategy actually
look like?
We encourage our business partners to continually offer us new solutions and test them
out in practice. At the same time, Mercator
promotes standardisation processes in order
to pass on high quality as well as creative,
modern and functional solutions to various

Which Mercator shops have shown themselves to be
­particularly innovative?
The renovation and extension of the Šiška hypermarket in
Ljubljana in 2007 with a new store concept implemented
here for the first time is most notable. The entire notion was
redesigned, and numerous innovative technologies and
energy-­efficient solutions were realised. We had very little
time to implement all the ideas and additionally to our supplier,
we co-operated with an external consultancy agency. The
store in the Maxi Market passage in Ljubljana is also a design
we are proud of. Constant exchange of experience with
external consultants as well with our suppliers took place
here, and, because the entire building is listed, there was a
complete need for coordination with one another. But I have
to say: the end result of imaginative and visually attractive
design, combined with the technological solutions to the
latest standard in this Maxi Market represent a breakthrough
in store design in Slovenia. This is clear to see by the reactions
of our customers.

F1: Polish Tabak Group goes drive-thru
Shop without leaving the car? Drive-thru like at
McDonald’s! Use the microphone to order from the F1 team,
pay, accept your goods and off you go. The Polish Tabak Group,
owned by the Strapagiel family, has recently been investing
in this sales idea in Poland: The ‘Formel F1 – stop tu shop’
shopping concept (rights-protected throughout Europe)
focuses on efficient ‘drive-thru’ shopping with pit stops. Just
drive your car under the roof of the F1 shop, where you are
protected from all weather conditions. Stop at one of the ‘Pit
Stops’ marked by display. Take a look at approximately 2,500
well-presented articles at various heights such as tobacco pro
ducts, spirits and groceries that have been arranged behind
large display windows on ‘wire tech’ shelves made by Wanzl,
and place your order. Stop finally at the last ‘Pit Stop’ of the
retail lane and pay. The F1 employee then places the pur­
chased goods in the boot of your vehicle.
In 2009, the Tabak Group opened the first
F1 shop in Kalisz (Poland), open 24 / 7.
Additional F1 franchise locations are planned
in Gdańsk, Szczecin, Bydgoszcz, Toruń,
Poznań, Warsaw, Wrocław, Lublin, Leszno,
Ostrów Wielkopolski and Zakopane. The aver­
age floor space for each site is approximately
300 square metres. The ideal location for an
F1 shop is in the direct vicinity of busy roads
within urban areas, with more than 15,000
inhabitants. Several logistics centres across

Non-Food: Farnham Honda showcase project
Working with motorcycle giants Honda, the Shop­fit­
ting team in the UK have achieved an important promo­
tional breakthrough for the very latest Wanzl non-food
retail display systems. Ideally located close to London, the
Farnham Honda accessories outlet utilises ‘duo tech’, ‘fino
tech’, ‘rima tech’ and ‘cuna tech’ to create a modern, visually
exciting space for the display of high quality motorcycling
equipment and clothing. ‘duo tech’ gondolas occupy the main
floor space, while ‘fino tech’ is used for vertical elements, with
‘rima tech’ and ‘cuna tech’ as horizontal display components.
Head of Shopfitting in the UK, Clive Jury said that the
installation of these state-of-the-art systems was an impor­
tant breakthrough for the promotion of Wanzl non-food
retail solutions outside mainland Europe. “This is a first for
these systems in the UK and we have already enjoyed a highly
positive response from major motorcycling and automotive
customers visiting the Farnham Honda site. Our ability to
­deliver bespoke colour detail and modern, durable finishes to
complement and enhance corporate ID has
impressed our visitors. The Farnham location
has proved to be ideal because it is close to
the major London market and to Heathrow,
enabling visitors from further away a ‘fly in,
fly out’ visit on the same day. Commencing
in April, we were able to design and deliver
and fit the entire Farnham Honda solution in
12 weeks. This is a credit to the UK Shop­
fitting team and is a further incentive to our
non-food retail customers to choose Wanzl
when a high quality, concept-to-completion
shopfitting solution is required – all at a single
point of contact.”

The Middle East is expanding on an epic scale
The penchant for superlatives in Dubai is still going
strong. The recently opened Burj Khalifa or ‘Dubai Tower‘
has held a new record since the beginning of the year: at
828 metres tall, it is the world's tallest skyscraper. On a clear
day, the top of the building can be seen from over a hundred
kilometres away. But this isn't the only record held by Burj
Khalifa and its dazzling metal and glass frontage: housing
both offices and accommodation, it has the highest number
of floors (over 160) and the highest occupied floor in the
world. The design of this mega tower was even a ‘journey of
discovery‘ for its architects, as chief architect Adrian Smith
from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in the US confirms. Burj
Khalifa can hold up to 12,000 workers and residents.
More than 30 companies from Germany
were involved in the construction of this
record-breaking tower. For example, the
patented pumps originate from BadenWürttemberg and were used to deliver the
concrete to world-record heights within
20 minutes. Wanzl is also one of the suppliers to Burj Khalifa: the ‘Secure‘ minibar

Airport service with Wanzl, the global market leader
Africa is a continent with great potential: its population exceeds one billion people. In the next 40 years, Africa's
population is set to more than double to 2.3 billion people.
According to a new study undertaken by the Hamburg Institute
of International Economics (HWWI) entitled ‘Strategy 2030 –
Africa’, Africa as an economic area has become the second
most dynamic in the world after south-east Asia. Average
economic growth is set to hit 4.7 % this year, with work to
expand the infrastructure proceeding at lightning pace. Wanzl,
the global market leader for luggage transport trolleys, has
now expanded its position as the leading supplier of trolley
solutions to include the African continent. Wanzl delivered
7,600 ‘Euro-Sprinter’ luggage transport trolleys, suitable for
use on escalators, to its long-standing customer ACSA – the
operator of a total of 10 airports in South Africa – to be
used in the Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town airports
for the Football World Cup.
Port Elizabeth International was also equipped with 200 ‘Travel 300’ trolleys. What is
more, the latter's outstanding price / per­
formance ratio won over numerous north-­
African airports. Wanzl received the latest
major tender from Tunisian airports: a total
of 2,200 ‘Travel 300 BL’ trolleys were
deliv­ered to six Tunisian airports in June.
This means that Wanzl trolleys are ready for
use by passengers at almost every airport
in Tunisia, a favourite tourist destination of
many.

tablet PC and scanner are easily removed for charging or
replacement enabling the trolleys to be safely stored outside
to maximise in-store retail floor space. This also enables the
trolleys to be used in smaller retail premises where space is at
a premium. X2 Computing and Wanzl Logistics + Industry have
also developed a range of custom modular charging solutions
housed in secure cabinets with the capacity to store and
charge multiple computers and batteries.
According to Wolfgang Kaup, Head of Logistics + Industry
for Wanzl GmbH and Doug Jeffery, Head of Logistics + Industry for Wanzl UK: “We are both delighted to be working

reduce error rates and deliver a lower cost of ownership.”
This new generation of picking trolleys is designed and custom­built from the ground up to customer specifications in a wide
range of different sizes and configurations. They feature a
number of innovations including an integrated braking system
and a fifth, central wheel that reduces steering forces by up
to 80 % compared with traditional fixed wheel systems. This
results in a reduced turning circle and provides high levels of
manoeuvrability using one hand – an important benefit when
the trolleys are fully loaded.

­largest education and schoolbook
­publisher in the Netherlands, relies
on its partners Wanzl and INTHER
for logistics.
Interesting fact
Pick to Light carts: Order picking,
sorting and packing
Exercises for reading and writing,
historical themes presented clearly, learning
modules for environmental studies or geo­
graphy: Noordhoff Uitgevers is the largest
education and schoolbook publisher in the
Netherlands. Over 400 employees use a
great deal of fun, creativity and profession­
alism to create educational material for Dutch
primary and secondary schools. Noordhoff
Uitgevers is also involved in vocational train­
ing, further education and higher education
with books, journals, supplementary digital
learning materials and other services. Millions
of items pass through the distribution centre
in Groningen each year. Since April 2010, nine
specially customised order picking carts from
Wanzl have been supporting efficient logistics
management at Noordhoff Uitgevers. Within
three months of the contract being signed
at the end of 2009, Wanzl developed a cart
solution tailored to the requirements and
wishes of Noordhoff Uitgevers.
In the second step, INTHER Logistics Engineering, which
has been a software specialist for the integration of auto­
matic warehouse and order picking systems for the last
ten years, equipped the Wanzl order picking carts with the
INTHER LC automation software for Pick to Light carts.
"In order to exactly meet the individual requirements in each
case, INTHER develops the pick carts in a customer-specific
way", explains Mike Strijbos, INTHER Manager Project Depart­
ment. The number of order picking positions per cart is
de­pend­ent on the order profile; for example at Noordhoff
Uitgevers it is twelve places per cart. For every one of these
twelve order picking positions, a Pick to Light module was
installed on the pick cart, which is powered by a battery integrated in the pick cart. Thanks to the static installation of
the Pick to Light modules on the pick carts, instead of on the
numerous storage spaces in the Noordhoff Uitgevers warehouse, significantly fewer modules were needed, and therefore substantial cost savings were made. A wireless RF
module was installed for the connection of the pick carts'
INTHER LC software to the Noordhoff Uitgevers Warehouse
Management System. This module works according to the
latest wireless network technology.
Netherlands | Logistics + I ndustry
"With the Pick to Light carts, numerous orders
can be simultaneously picked, sorted and
packaged. This significantly increases the effi­
ciency of the order picking process."
(Pick and Pack philosophy)
WILLEM VERHALLE, INTHER Project Manager
← ← Batch order picking at
­Noordhoff Uitgevers – twelve
­orders are simultaneously processed.
The Pick to Light carts were developed
in cooperation with Wanzl and INTHER.
Every cart is equipped with four levels
and has space for twelve order picking
positions.
← The orders already sorted
into cartons go from the Pick to Light
cart directly onto the conveyor belt –
that saves time and money. Here, the
cartons are assessed, semi-automatically
sealed, labelled and shipped.
" We have customers whose order picking performance has
increased by up to 40 % thanks to the use of Pick to Light
carts, and at the same time their rate of order picking errors
has fallen to 0.02 %."
MIKE STRIJBOS, INTHER Manager Project Department
The order picking itself saves time, money and legwork:
incoming orders are grouped together according to identi­
cal item positions, using IT. The picker then receives their
order batch and the associated pick cart. The first order picking
position is displayed on the central display of the pick cart
and then an employee goes to this position with the pick cart
and confirms the position or the item barcode with an RF
scanner. Then the Pick to Light modules on the pick cart light
up for the orders that require these items. At the same time,
respective display shows the required order picking quantity.
The employee picks the item quantity as shown on the display
and presses the switch on the Pick to Light module to confirm.
A great advantage of the Pick to Light Cart System is the
possibility to complete numerous orders at once (multi order
picking). "The integrated INTHER LC software calculates the
ideal batch for a Pick to Light cart on the basis of the ABC
sorting of items and on order priority. This procedure reduces
the walking distance in the warehouse enormously", says
INTHER Project Manager Willem Verhalle. The items picked
are immediately distributed across the various orders in the
pick cart. A further time saving is achieved during packaging
by directly order picking into the cartoned shipping container.
This all results in a system that simultaneously picks, sorts
and packages.
One Stop Shop
For more than ten years, INTHER Logistics
Engineering has specialised in software for
the integration of automatic warehousing
and order picking systems. Their own devel­
opments include a voice recognition system
and order picking with Pick to Light and Sort
by Light systems, for example. Additionally,
INTHER also uses RF scanning and RFID integration. The automation system INTHER LC
is used in warehouses, logistics centres and

INTHER is therefore the one stop shop for its

Logistics + Industry Top label
During its 60-year company history, Wolford has
established itself as a luxury brand in the premium
sector of the international fashion world.
The Wolford brand has been registered
as a protected trade mark since 1950. A
year before this, the industrialist Reinhold
Wolff from Vorarlberg and the retail entrepreneur Walter Palmers from Vienna had already
founded the company Wolff & Co. KG in
Bregenz, Lake Constance. With its own dye
works and moulding shop, the company
­started manufacturing nylon stockings in the
same year that nylon was first introduced to
Europe. During the coming six decades, the
company developed from a leg and bodywear provider to an internationally acclaimed
premium brand with a product portfolio
cover­ing your wardrobe from head to toe. Core areas are the
well-established product groups of legwear, ready-to-wear
and lingerie. Swimwear made from high-quality materials as
well as textile accessories and belts that draw attention
through exciting details also form part of the range. By the
1980s, Wolford was already implementing the ideas of international designers who caused a furore on the catwalks with
their creations. In the mid-1990s, the first design cooperations began, with ‘Wolford meets Vivienne Westwood’ and
‘Wolford + Lagerfeld Gallery’ by Karl Lagerfeld. Further seasonal
co-brandings followed, such as with Kenzo, Emilio Pucci and
Valentino. Today, Wolford AG, which was floated on the stock
exchange in Vienna and Paris in 1995 with the LADY AKTIE
shares, has 14 subsidiaries worldwide and markets its
Austria | Logistics + I ndustry
­ rod­ucts in around 65 countries using monobrand boutiques
p
and trade partners as well as online shops.
On its journey to becoming a luxury brand, Wolford proved
itself time and again a pioneer in the fashion world. As early
as 1953, the first double perlon stockings were introduced on
the market and, in the following years, production expanded
rapidly following the acquisition of circular knitting machines.
With the first seamless stockings, ‘Fatal’, Wolford caused a
furore in the fashion world. Even today, these stockings that
do not show under clinging clothes are one of the Wolford
bestsellers. To date, Wolford still works with circular knitting
machines, which guarantee unmistakable knitting competency.
“Claiming to be a luxury brand is based among other things
on an uncompromising focus on quality
that is maintained throughout all areas of
the company, from material purchasing and
­prod­uction right through to distribution,”
says Holger Dahmen, CEO of Wolford AG,
to explain the consistent brand strategy.

Ready for loading: To support Wolford in
maintaining its high quality standards, Wanzl
delivered mobile containers to Bregenz in
February 2010 that were made-to-measure
specially to Wolford's requirements for the
transportation of textile products between
the individual finishing stages. Wanzl provided
the theft-proof ‘Customized Solutions’ with a
rod construction for picking up textiles as
well as foil covers for protection against dirt
and dust.
Only the finest yarns in the world that pass
numerous quality tests find their way into
Wolford production. The final finishing of a
stocking requires up to 16 work processes, a
body up to 25 and a swimsuit even up to 45.
Knitting a stocking alone to Wolford quality
standards takes between four and fifteen
minutes. The following finishing of the foot
part requires 35 stitches per centimetre. Then
it goes for washing, followed by the dyeing
process. The end process is the precise prod­
uct control with quality approval. Not until
then can they say: ready for international
­dispatch!
