FULL SERVICE FOR THE BOOK TRADE
UMBREIT is one of Germany's biggest and busiest book wholesalers. The book wholesale business is the interface between publishers and booksellers. The firm provides a warehousing facility serving over 3000 customers in Germany and Luxembourg.

G. Umbreit's headquarters are in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany. They provide services for the following business areas: press wholesale, book forwarding and publishers' deliveries. Their wide range of services provides their customers the opportunity to obtain everything from a single source. The enormous challenge this brings with it is to combine reliability, innovation, speed and punctuality.

In an effort to continue to meet all of these demanding requirements successfully, UMBREIT decided to extend, modernize, optimize and refurbish its outdated picking materials handling plant.
