LTW Intralogistics

What LTW Intralogistics does

LTW Intralogistics GmbH, founded in 1981 as 'Lagertechnik Wolfurt' and headquartered in Wolfurt, Austria, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the family-owned Doppelmayr Holding SE conglomerate. The company designs, engineers, and delivers turnkey automated high-bay warehouse systems for enterprise customers, with approximately 320 employees across offices in Wolfurt, Vienna, and Gleisdorf (Austria), Illerkirchberg (Germany), Denver (USA), and a pre-incorporation presence in India. LTW reports more than 950 completed projects across 35+ countries and a cumulative installed base of 2,000+ rail-guided storage and retrieval machines (stacker cranes) since inception. The company serves verticals including heavy industry and manufacturing, food and frozen goods (down to -25°C), timber, maritime/marina, and port/container terminals.

The core technology stack centers on stacker cranes and conveyor technology manufactured to Doppelmayr ropeway tolerance standards at the Wolfurt Hohe Brücke plant. LTW holds patents on its 1986 rail switch technology and horizontally sliding order picking gate, and offers differentiated components such as the CAPDRIVE supercapacitor energy-storage system (up to 65% electricity cost reduction, ~80% grid feed-in reduction, three-year greenfield payback). The software layer includes a proprietary Warehouse Control System (1999), an Oracle-based Warehouse Management System (2004), the LTW LIOS software launched in 2023, and the LTWcare digital service platform launched in 2021 with TÜViT-certified remote connectivity and predictive-maintenance features. Notable customer outcomes include a 600% storage capacity improvement at Gulf Star Marina's hurricane-rated automated boat warehouse in Florida and a third high-bay expansion at Schneider's Gemüseland's frozen-food facility near Vienna.

LTW operates a direct enterprise field-sales model with no channel partners, quoting each custom project individually based on scope and complexity. Revenue is generated through four streams: turnkey system sales (one-time project revenue), software licenses and subscriptions including LTWcare (recurring), after-sales services and retrofits (professional services), and components and spare parts (hardware). Certifications include ISO 9001:2015, TÜViT remote-connect certification, IntegrityNext sustainability membership, and self-attested GDPR compliance. The most recent disclosed standalone revenue was €66.2M in FY 2019, and the company is presently in a leadership transition announced on April 30, 2026, alongside a March 2025 group-wide rebranding aligning the LTW identity with the Doppelmayr parent brand.
