TGW Logistics Group

What TGW Logistics Group does

TGW Logistics Group is a foundation-owned Austrian provider of highly automated warehouse and distribution center solutions, headquartered in Marchtrenk and founded in 1969. The company designs, builds, and maintains end-to-end intralogistics systems integrating mechatronics, robotics, and software, serving enterprise customers across four primary verticals: Fashion & Apparel, Grocery, Industrial, and Consumer Goods, with additional exposure to e-commerce, pharmaceutical, and 3PL segments. Its core technology stack spans proprietary shuttle systems (Stingray), goods-to-person platforms (FlashPick, LivePick), the SmartPocket autonomous pocket sorter (mobile-robot-based rather than drag-chain), the RovoFlex ML-enabled picking robot, Quba autonomous mobile robots, Mustang mini-load cranes, KingDrive conveyors, and the WERX warehouse management software platform with SAP EWM integration. TGW operates exclusively through direct enterprise sales as a systems integrator, executing large-scale turnkey projects (examples include a 900,000+ storage location Galaxus mega-site in Neuenburg, a $90M NewCold/McCain cold chain facility, BSH Hausgeräte's 300,000-location Nuremberg shuttle warehouse, and dm drogerie markt centers in Kronstorf and Wustermark) and supplementing one-time project revenue with recurring Lifetime Services (on-site, field, remote, spare parts, training, retrofit, consulting).

The company's go-to-market is anchored by a global workforce of more than 4,600 employees across Europe (Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, UK, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden), North America (Grand Rapids, Michigan HQ plus operations in Olathe and Texas), and Asia (Shanghai). Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed; each solution is tailored to scope, complexity, and capacity, with mega-projects reaching more than 900,000 storage locations. TGW reached the billion-euro revenue/orders milestone in fiscal year 2024 and achieved record-breaking order intake in 2025, while announcing a EUR 50M expansion of its Marchtrenk headquarters in April 2026. Ownership under the TGW Future Privatstiftung enables long-term reinvestment without external shareholder pressure, differentiates the company from PE-backed and publicly listed warehouse automation competitors, and supports a portfolio of social initiatives (TGW Future Wings) alongside operations.
