Discount Retail Chain Aldi South in Germany improves its logistics network with another fresh food platform in Bavaria.
Since 2022, Aldi has changed in Germany its logistics concept by introducing regional fresh food platforms for even more quality and transparency along the supply chain. This was necessary to strengthen its campaign "Good for all" and to supply its customers with fresh quality fruit and vegetables every day. The bundling and efficient processing of Aldi's fruit and vegetable assortment at central locations is running already at two regional fresh food platforms in Germany. A third fresh food platform near Mönchengladbach, Germany, is currently in the introduction phase, and another platform near Karlsruhe is under construction.
Aldi has recently also announced that it is expected to complete its fresh food distribution network in spring 2026 with a fifth location near Nuremberg. The new building planned for this purpose will meet the challenges of the fruit and vegetables sector as well as Aldi's requirements. Its long-standing partner Fruchtimport vanWylick GmbH will also be the operator of this new fresh food platform in Nuremberg. Fruchtimport vanWylick is both a fruit trader and fresh food industry expert as well as already the operator of Aldi's fresh food platform in Cologne.
The new fresh food platform near Nuremberg will supply Aldi's six regional Aldi distribution companies in Bavaria. Together with its fresh food partners Balth. Papp Internationale Lebensmittellogistik KG (FP Ginsheim-Gustavsburg and FP Niederrhein) and Gemüsering Stuttgart GmbH (FP Karlsruhe), the entire Aldi Süd German market area can be supplied via fresh food platforms from mid-2026 and this approach will make a major contribution to more fresh food quality and sustainability.
For the future, Aldi plans to continuously develop its fresh food platform and optimize its based on the challenges of the supply chain and the needs of our customers. All under the motto "DAILY FRESH. ALWAYS CHEAP".
