DACHSER expands its Hegau-Bodensee logistics center in Steißlingen
Ground broken for new warehouse for industrial and consumer goods; existing transit terminals to be extended
DACHSER is expanding its Hegau-Bodensee logistics center in Steißlingen with a new warehouse building that offers 8,950 m2 of logistics space and room for 22,000 pallets. In addition, the company is expanding its existing transit terminals for industrial and consumer goods as well as food. With this investment, DACHSER Steißlingen, strategically located close to Switzerland, is responding to demand from new and existing customers in industry and retail for additional storage capacity. As part of the construction work, the branch is also expanding its sustainable energy supply and electromobility.
DACHSER is building a new logistics warehouse with state-of-the-art technical equipment right at its Steißlingen location. The company offers the full range of logistics services there, including small parts warehousing, value-added services such as finishing and labeling, and many special services. DACHSER Steißlingen, together with its warehouses in and around Singen, currently has over 45,000 pallet spaces; the expansion will increase that total to 67,000. The new warehouse will also feature more office space and modern common areas, and is scheduled for completion in early 2027. The new facility is expected to initially create 30 to 50 jobs.
We’re investing not only in space, but above all in future viability. This includes improving the way we get our power.

Once the expansion work is completed, a total of 9,350 m2 will be available for the handling of industrial goods (an increase of 2,760 m2) as well as 4,200 m2 of refrigerated space (an increase of 1,370 m2) for handling food. There will also be additional office space and common rooms in the extension to the food handling terminal.
“Our investments create additional logistics capacity and strengthen the Steißlingen location as well as our customers’ connections to the global DACHSER transport network,” said Murat Paso, Branch Manager of the Hegau-Bodensee logistics center, at the symbolic ground‑breaking ceremony on January 23, 2026.
Expansion of electromobility
“We’re investing not only in space, but above all in future viability. This includes improving the way we get our power: As part of the new warehouse, we’re building a new transformer station, which will increase our grid connection capacity from 720 to 3,200 kilowatts,” Paso said. “This investment enables the further expansion of electromobility at the site.” DACHSER is building four charging stations with 400 kilowatts (kW) of power in Steißlingen for e‑trucks and battery-electric yard transfer vehicles, as well as two 180 kW charging stations and three 50 kW charging stations. The branch deployed its first e-truck in 2025 and plans to purchase further battery-electric transport vehicles in the coming years.
In addition, the existing photovoltaic system will be expanded from 163 to 493 kWp, with potential to take that even higher. There will also be an energy management system including battery storage. Work is underway to set up another PV system over the course of the year.
The Hegau-Bodensee logistics center was established in 2009 and currently employs around 375 people. Every year, the branch handles some 900,000 shipments, together weighing 550,000 metric tons, for its customers in industry, consumer goods, and food.
