5 Years of KAPELOU EU: Your Trusted Intralogistics Partner in Europe

Automated Warehouse Logistics Hand in Hand with KAPELOU EU: Key Advantages of Our Partnership

Automating warehouse logistics in Europe and worldwide with KAPELOU is the result of combining a strong engineering team, extensive hands-on experience in complex integration projects, and constant alignment with global intralogistics trends. Recognizing that every warehouse environment is unique, we engineer optimized, fit-for-purpose solutions. Here is what your business gains by partnering with us:

Advantage #1 – Collaboration with an Experienced Engineering Team

5 years of KAPELOU EU operations with our headquarters in Bergisch Gladbach (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) represent the steady development of local expertise backed by proven technical achievements. Our technologies for warehouse logistics in Germany and global markets comply with rigorous international standards, ensuring seamless integration into existing material handling infrastructures. Today, our project portfolio spans key markets across Europe, Scandinavia, the USA, and the Middle East. This year, we further expanded our footprint into the UK and Egypt.

Tobias Frohn, Managing Director of KAPELOU Europe GmbH, stated: “These past 5 years have been an intense and rewarding journey for me personally. We established KAPELOU EU during times of economic uncertainty and market volatility. I am proud that our team faced every challenge together. Over this period, we built a highly skilled team grounded in mutual trust. This unity remains the core driver of our growth. Thanks to perseverance, technical excellence, and an uncompromising focus on customer needs, we continue to successfully execute complex projects step by step“.

Advantage #2 – Flexible Technologies Delivering Guaranteed Results

We support our customers through every project phase. Starting with a thorough “as-is” analysis of warehouse operations, we identify bottlenecks, design tailored layouts, and assume full project accountability – from mechanical and electrical design to PLC commissioning and lifecycle support services.

Pharma Distribution, Saudi Arabia: in pharmaceutical logistics, picking errors pose a direct threat to patient health and safety. The customer faced a critical challenge common to high-volume distributors: maintaining strict FEFO/FIFO expiration date control and real-time inventory visibility under rapidly scaling order volumes. In partnership with BD Rowa, we developed a flexible hybrid picking model and equipped the packing area with a three-tier conveyor system. The conveyors handle receiving, packing, and outbound order transport, automatically returning empty totes back to the picking zone.
The Result: the facility achieved a 50% throughput increase while reducing manual labor requirements by 60%, delivering 100% picking accuracy and on-time fulfillment.

Packaging Technology, Germany: when expanding the facility footprint is not an option, the solution lies in maximizing cubic space utilization. A German manufacturer needed to ensure a continuous material flow to its buffer area. KAPELOU engineers integrated heavy-duty pallet chain conveyors and pallet diverters directly into the customer’s existing transport line, updating safety circuits and control software without interrupting ongoing operations.
The Result: a seamless retrofit adding 12 extra pallet positions within the existing building footprint, maintaining a steady throughput capacity of 60 pallets/hour.

E-Grocery / Dark Store, Greece: doubling order fulfillment speed while keeping floor pathways clear for material handling equipment required utilizing vertical overhead space. The challenge was sorting orders across 14 dispatch lanes in a tight layout. We engineered and installed a ceiling-suspended conveyor system, lifting the material flow overhead and leaving the ground floor unobstructed for foot traffic and forklifts.
The Result: an operational milestone for the dark store – order processing capacity doubled per shift, while labor requirements for sorting and transport were reduced by 20%.

Advantage #3 – 5 Consecutive Years at LogiMAT

Engineering practice in complex environments gives rise to market-defining technologies. For 5 consecutive years, KAPELOU EU has exhibited at LogiMAT – Europe’s premier international trade show for intralogistics technologies and process management.

LogiMAT represents our annual benchmark for compliance with the highest global industry standards. Year after year, we demonstrate proprietary automated systems engineered for modern supply chain demands. We provide turn key warehousing technologies based on AS/RS, A-Frame automated order picking, and conveyor systems that maximize storage density, mitigate labor shortages, and ensure error-free order picking.

Thank You for the Trust That Drives Us Forward

5 years of successful project implementations and a consistent presence at Europe’s leading intralogistics forum have built a solid foundation. For KAPELOU EU, this is just the beginning.

Tobias Frohn emphasized: “We have successfully delivered warehousing systems across multiple international markets. The trust of our partners provides a strong springboard for our next growth phase. As project complexities increase, we are strategically expanding our engineering team and infrastructure. Our goal is to further deepen our technical capabilities and remain exceptionally close to our customers. With our global track record, I am confident KAPELOU EU will continue to strengthen its position as a preferred partner for complex intralogistics in Europe“.

We extend our gratitude to our customers and business partners for trusting us with their most ambitious automation projects, enabling our expansion into new international markets. Our shared passion for operational efficiency, system reliability, and long-term partnership remains our guiding principle.

We enter the upcoming year confident in achieving new milestones together.
