Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• AutoStore: AutoStore is both a technology partner to HÖRMANN (cube-based storage integrated with HiLIS WMS) and a broader competitor through its own global integrator network. The dual relationship makes AutoStore a strategic ecosystem counterpart rather than a pure direct peer, but it defines a major portion of HÖRMANN's small parts storage offering.

Emerging players

• Locus Robotics: Locus Robotics provides autonomous mobile robots for warehouse picking and order fulfillment, overlapping with HÖRMANN's Pick-by-Robot and moving-rack solutions — comparable in target use case (goods-to-person picking) but focused on a narrower robotics layer rather than full turnkey integration.
• Geek+: Geek+ is a China-rooted AMR and warehouse robotics vendor rapidly expanding in Europe — competing with HÖRMANN's AGV and goods-to-person robotics offerings, particularly in e-commerce and mid-market segments, though with a more software/robotics-native go-to-market.

Direct peers

• Dematic: Dematic is one of the largest global intralogistics integrators, offering automated storage, retrieval, conveyor, and WMS solutions as a general contractor to enterprise customers — directly comparable to HÖRMANN's turnkey warehouse automation model across the same verticals and project sizes.
• Swisslog: Swisslog provides automated warehouse, AS/RS, AutoStore integrations, and SynQ WMS as a turnkey general contractor for industrial and healthcare logistics — overlapping with HÖRMANN across product categories, customer segments, and the European DACH customer base.
• SSI SCHAEFER: SSI SCHAEFER is a leading global intralogistics specialist offering shelving, AS/RS, conveyors, robotics, and its own WMS (WAMAS), serving the same industrial and retail customers with comparable turnkey delivery — a direct functional and business-model peer to HÖRMANN.
• KNAPP: KNAPP is an Austrian-headquartered intralogistics general contractor specializing in shuttle-based storage systems, picking solutions, and its KiSoft WMS — closely comparable to HÖRMANN in DACH market focus, turnkey delivery model, and shuttle/AKL product category.
• TGW Logistics Group: TGW is a private Austrian intralogistics integrator offering AS/RS, shuttle systems, robotics, and conveyor technology as turnkey solutions — overlapping with HÖRMANN in Central European markets, mid-to-large enterprise customers, and similar product breadth.
• Kardex Group: Kardex provides automated storage and retrieval solutions (Kardex Remstar, Kardex Mlog) for industrial customers, competing with HÖRMANN's high-bay and small parts warehouse offerings — comparable in product category and customer type, though smaller in scope.

Broad incumbents

• Jungheinrich: Jungheinrich is a larger German incumbent offering forklifts, warehouse equipment, and increasingly automated/AS/RS systems. It competes with HÖRMANN in intralogistics but as part of a much broader materials-handling portfolio rather than a focused turnkey integrator.
