MAHLE Aftermarket continues to invest in next-gen technology on a global scale

MAHLE Aftermarket has opened a highly-automated warehouse in Olive Branch, Mississippi (USA).

The warehouse speeds up deliveries to workshops and distributors, reduces the frequency of returns, and enables an order to be comissioned within 30 minutes.

MAHLE has invested approximately EUR 6 million in the 1,200 m² fully automated facility.

Additional warehouse locations in Europe will be similarly outfitted beginning in 2023.

Digitisation is an important tool for all MAHLE group divisions, enabling higher efficiency and better quality assurance.

Olaf Henning, member of the MAHLE management committee and director of the aftermarket business unit said: “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,” says

Scalable, automated warehouses allow MAHLE Aftermarket to react flexibly to fluctuating stock and shipments, ensuring reliability for its customers.

At the Olive Branch location, which encompasses about 30,000 m2 of production and logistics operations, 22,000 different filtration and thermal management products and engine components are currently stocked.

Additionally, the logistics center serves as a flexible and scalable way to organise consumables for the on-site production of engine gaskets.

In 2023, the next logistics location to be converted will be Décines in France.

MAHLE is driving forward the expansion of its digital offerings for independent workshops and retailers at a rapid pace—ranging from e-commerce solutions, information, technical support and training, all the way to virtual trade shows.
