What Bonnema does

Bonnema Lagertechnik is a privately held German industrial storage-technology specialist headquartered in Bocholt, North Rhine-Westphalia, founded in 1992 by Cornelis Bonnema. The company designs, supplies, and installs industrial racking and shelving systems for warehouses and production facilities, acting as an official location dealer for NEDCON, a leading European manufacturer of heavy-duty storage equipment. Its hardware portfolio spans 18 products across five categories — pallet racking (including VNA narrow-aisle, drive-in, gravity-flow FIFO, and outdoor galvanized systems), long-goods storage (cantilever and roll-out racking up to 12 m / 7,500 kg), small-parts shelving, sheet-metal drawer storage, mezzanines, and rack-supported storage halls — plus a newer warehouse-automation line distributed from NEDCON that includes shuttle systems and ROBORACK autonomous case-handling robots.

Bonnema's business model is a full-service model that bundles consulting, free 3D warehouse planning, equipment supply, in-house installation, and after-sales support into a single project engagement. Revenue is generated through (i) one-time equipment sales of NEDCON-sourced and proprietary racking, (ii) professional installation services performed by the company's own teams across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Poland, and France, (iii) recurring annual rack inspection contracts priced at approximately €3–8 per rack field under DIN EN 15635, (iv) flexible rental of racking systems for seasonal or project-based demand, and (v) 3D planning and consulting services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company's customer base spans enterprise industrial manufacturers, logistics operators, food and cold-storage businesses, automotive suppliers, retailers/e-commerce, and wholesale/retail chains. Named logos include Siemens, EDEKA/Marktkauf, DB Cargo, POCO Einrichtungsmärkte, Nordson, Trane Technologies, and Die Autobahn GmbH. Sales is executed through direct enterprise field-sales with regional offices in NRW and Bavaria, supplemented by inside sales for mid-market inquiries and a parallel e-commerce storefront (schwerlastregal.de) targeting SMB buyers. Marketing relies on a deep technical knowledge portal covering DIN/DGUV standards, load calculations, and damage classification, plus regional content pages targeting specific German economic regions.

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• TGW Logistics Group: Austrian warehouse automation specialist offering highly automated storage and picking systems to European retailers and 3PLs. Comparable to Bonnema's automation roadmap (ROBORACK, shuttle systems), but operates at significantly larger scale with proprietary software and robotics.

Direct peers

• Stow International: European manufacturer of industrial pallet racking and shelving with direct sales and dealer networks across Europe. Comparable product portfolio (pallet racking, drive-in, cantilever, shelving) and customer overlap with Bonnema in industrial and logistics verticals.
• AR Racking: European manufacturer of industrial racking systems (pallet, cantilever, shelving) with direct sales and project installation services across Europe. Closely comparable to Bonnema in product offering and target verticals (industry, logistics, retail), with a stronger footprint in Southern Europe.
• Meta-Regalbau: German manufacturer of pallet racking, cantilever racking, and shelving systems sold through direct sales and dealers across Europe. Comparable to Bonnema in product portfolio, DIN-certified quality, and target customer segments of industry and logistics, though Meta owns its manufacturing rather than distributing NEDCON.
• OHRA Regalanlagen: German specialist manufacturer of cantilever racking and long-goods storage systems serving industrial customers across Europe. Comparable to Bonnema's Kragarmregale product line and long-goods storage segment, though OHRA owns manufacturing rather than acting as a NEDCON distributor.
• BITO-Lagertechnik: German manufacturer and direct distributor of industrial racking, shelving, and storage systems with its own installation services across Europe. Closely comparable to Bonnema as a vertically integrated racking specialist serving industrial, logistics, and retail customers in the same DACH+ geography.
• KÖPP GmbH: German racking manufacturer offering pallet racking, shelving, and storage systems for industrial and commercial customers. Comparable mid-sized European racking specialist competing with Bonnema in the DACH region on standard pallet and shelving projects.

Broad incumbents

• SSI Schäfer: Global German-headquartered intralogistics provider offering racking, shelving, automated storage/retrieval systems, and warehouse software to industrial and retail customers. Comparable to Bonnema in pallet racking and storage automation, but operates at far greater scale across more geographies.
• Jungheinrich: Major German intralogistics company offering forklifts, pallet racking, automated warehouses, and storage systems through direct sales and a large service network across Europe. A much larger incumbent competitor where Bonnema is a niche player; overlap is strongest in pallet racking and warehouse automation.
• Hörmann Industrievertretung: Large German industrial group active in loading technology, doors, and warehouse equipment distribution across Europe. Adjacent incumbent offering some overlapping warehouse equipment categories to industrial customers, though broader product scope than Bonnema.
