Magirus announced the grand opening of its new logistics hub at Panattoni Park Graz Süd in Leibnitz. The modern site, with a total area of around 2,500 m², will play a key role in optimising logistics and expanding the production capacities of the Austrian Magirus Lohr plant in Premstätten.
Thomas Hilse, CEO of Magirus, emphasises: “The opening of this logistics hub marks a decisive step in the strategic development of Magirus in Austria and beyond. The location not only strengthens our supply chains but also enables us to grow sustainably and increase our efficiency. The use of CO2-neutral shuttle transport also emphasises our commitment to the environment and sustainable corporate management.”
Marc Kuntz, Director of Sales and Customer Service, adds: “With the new logistics infrastructure, we are optimising our warehousing and expanding our production capacities. This not only improves customer service in Austria but also internationally, as we can better meet the increasing demand for our innovative solutions. One focus will certainly be on the production of our new FLEX firefighting vehicle.”
The investment in the new logistics hub demonstrates Magirus’ ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability. The building complies with the GreenBuilding Gold standard, and the logistics processes have been equipped with modern, low-emission technologies. In addition, the shuttle service between the business park and the plant is CO2-neutral.
The opening took place in the presence of Christa Zengerer, Managing Director of ACstyria, and Mario Kunasek, Governor of Styria. Christian Reisl, Managing Director of Magirus Lohr, officially accepted the key for the new logistics centre and emphasised the importance of the location for the future of Magirus in the region. “With the expansion of our logistics centre in Hasendorf, we are not only helping to increase efficiency but are also making a significant contribution to the regional economy,” said Reisl.
“We are proud to be growing sustainably as part of the Styrian mobility industry,” concludes Hilse.
Magirus remains true to its tradition and focuses on innovation and precision to ensure the highest quality in fire and disaster protection—for customers in Austria and worldwide.
