In September, Coop closed its distribution center in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Since then, sales outlets in French-speaking Switzerland have been supplied from Aclens. Capacities there have been expanded accordingly. Hunkeler Systeme AG supplied and installed the entire disposal technology.
Until now, Coop has operated two distribution centres in French-speaking Switzerland, one in La Chaux-de-Fonds and one in Aclens near Lausanne. The retailer shut down the La Chaux-de-Fonds site in September, and since then Coop sales shops have been supplied centrally from Aclens. This is also where all the returns that arrive every day from the outlet network have to be sorted and disposed of. To this end, Coop has expanded the building complex and invested in automated disposal technology from Hunkeler Systeme AG.
