NEWS10 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 4 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comVollert celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025 %u2013 and continues to shape the future. The theme of the anniversary year is 'Empowering Tomorrow' and the heavy-duty experts have no shortage of ideas and new concepts for automating a wide range of industries. With new technological approaches, concepts and ideas, the long-established company Vollert sees itself time and again as a trendsetter in the industry and always has the future challenges of its customers in mind: Making material flows more efficient with new intralogistics concepts, creating affordable living space for millions of people with sustainable construction systems or significantly improving the CO2 footprint with battery-powered, emission-free shunting technology. \as in the past, we don't know what will happen in five years' time - that's exciting. We are always open to new ideas, think outside the box and are grateful for the trust our customers place in us. Because with every new challenge, we work together to develop sustainable solutions for the coming decades,\the family business, describing the range of tasks. \tion, integral processes and digitalization are megatrends that will continue to drive the economy forward in the future, for example in the areas of mobility and transport.\What moves Vollert in the futureVollert is well equipped for this with its heavy-duty intralogistics solutions: The growing lack of space and the ever-increasing speed of supply chains require new solutions. New concepts therefore include the development of automated truck parking garages - so-called truck towers - and container high-bay warehouses. These not only reduce space requirements, but also offer significant advantages in terms of speed thanks to short distances. For Logan Aluminum, the largest tinplate plant in North America, Vollert is currently building a comprehensive material flow and storage system in the USA to supply and discharge the hot and cold rolling areas. The central element is a 130-metre-long high-bay warehouse, which is operated by a 42-metre-high stacker crane - Vollert's largest of its kind to date. \develop new solutions together with our customers - that's what Vollert is all about,\Sustainability determines innovationThis also applies to the efficient shunting of unit loads and bulk goods. Vollert supplied the first battery-powered shunting robots to Holderbank Zement in Switzerland back in 1974. Today, the long-established company has a versatile shunting portfolio for a wide range of applications. E-models or hybrid variants are now playing an increasingly important role - even when loading freight trains weighing up to 6,000 tons. The innovative Vlex road-rail vehicle from Vollert, on the other hand, offers a flexible, low-noise and emission-free alternative for internal transport of up to 600 tons, both on and off the rails. 100 years VollertFrom metalworker and pioneer to international system specialistIt all started with vineyard cable cars. Hermann Vollert laid the foundations for the company's global success in 1925 with the establishment of his metalworking shop in Weinsberg.
