The German retailer Edeka is one of the biggest employers in the municipality of Heddesheim (Baden-Württemberg). Because the company plans to build a new drinks warehouse there now, another 250 new jobs will be created, the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung reports on its website.
The opening of the warehouse is planned for the spring of 2016. Until then a highly automatised high bay warehouse for drinks will be created on 24,000 square metres of warehouse space. In the future over 100,000 boxes of drinks will be transshipped here every day. The total area is 80,000 squares metres and will be completed with 140 company parking spaces and a seven metre high sound wall with plants. In total Edeka is investing 50 million Euro in the location.
