Warehouse logistics:
Service Excellence:In Lauterach. In Singapore. Worldwide.If customers operate globally, GW is at their side and also
demonstrates the usual high performance in logistics on
the other side of the planet. As in the case of Tridonic. For
the long-standing customer, Gebrüder Weiss takes on the
storage logistics, not just in Lauterach, but also in Singa-
pore. The quality standards implemented – above all the
voucherless picking process – are state of the art in the
East Asian metropolis.
With Gebrüder Weiss we have a soundly managed partner at eye level. Our strategic part-
nership has existed for a long time and with great success. The reliability in the transport
of our goods is as consistent as the quality in the warehouse. Good communication and
competent handling also helped in the successful implementation of the warehouse logis-
tics in Singapore. Thanks to the strong interconnection of our systems, we benefit from a
fast and efficient flow of data and goods. www.tridonic.com
“ We value the personal contact that Gebrüder Weiss offers us worldwide. Wherever we are, GW is not far.”

The Challenge.
The Challenge
Tridonic GmbH & Co KGTridonic, a subsidiary company of the Zumtobel Group, de-
velops, manufactures and distributes market-oriented LED
products, components and control systems for innova-
tive lighting solutions. Based in Dornbirn, the company is
among the world’s top four manufacturers of lighting com-
ponents. Tridonic currently employs around 2,000 workers
in 30 branches as well as in distribution offices. 570 inven-
tions and more than 2,000 patents underline the company’s
strength in innovation.
Warehouse logistics for Tridonic GmbH & Co KGGebrüder Weiss and Tridonic look back on a long-standing
business relationship, which is based on continuity, trust
and success. Gebrüder Weiss has been looking after the
central warehouse at the Lauterach site for many years.
The global markets are served from here. This is where all
warehouse logistics from voucherless picking to the pack-
aging of goods and preparation for transport take place. A
collaboration which works smoothly and routinely. In line
with the rapid growth in the Asian market, Tridonic sought
a logistics solution for the Singapore site in the autumn
of 2010 with the following aims: providing a faster ser-
vice to the Asian market and improving the quality of ser-
vice. The global company was already represented with a
distribution office in Singapore, but the previous logistics
solutions were no longer adequate for the growth and the
increased demands on the Asian market. Tridonic sought
a new service provider to implement a logistics solution
in Singapore in accordance with European standards.
Gebrüder Weiss created a tender which relied on tried and
tested processes, many years of international experience
and the highest IT expertise.
The Solution.
The Solution

from the Lauterach site to Singapore and successfully
implemented it, adapted to local conditions and the cus-
tomer’s specific requirements. The handling in Lauterach is

opportunity to do so. Situated close to the port of Singa-
pore, it is ideally located for transport processing.

experience in logistics. The global company can therefore

The logistics solutions tailored to Tridonic can be used flex-
ibly and can be expanded in almost any way. An expansion
is possibly at any time.
The Process.
Gebrüder Weiss is responsible, both in Lauterach and
in Singapore, for the overall warehouse operations of
Tridonic. From the central warehouse in Lauterach and
other international locations, the high-tech lighting com-
ponents arrive in bundles in the Asian hub of Singapore via
air and sea transport – this saves time and transport costs.
From there, Tridonic serves its markets in Asia, Australia
and New Zealand. The most modern information systems
ensure that the GW logistics centre is always sufficiently
supplied with goods. Intelligent IT systems from GW ensure
the necessary data flow worldwide.
