“Hugo Boss has grown strongly across all brands, regions, and distribution channels in recent quarters,” said Daniel Grieder, CEO of Hugo Boss. “We are creating additional capacity in our logistics centre so that we can continue to deliver the increased order volume quickly and reliably in the future.

The luxury brand initially inaugurated its central distribution centre for Europe in Filderstadt in 2014. The facility, manned by approximately 350 employees, currently ships more than 35 million units annually to customers across Europe.

Grieder added: “With this investment, we will further optimise the efficiency of our warehousing operations, and once again set new standards in logistics in Europe.”
