    It is time to look forward: The Ifo business climate indictaors continued to improve in Q2 2010; particularly in Asia, where the indicator rose rapidly. Experts assess the upcoming economic situation for the second half of 2010 as positive. In our company, too, the order backlog and expected business confirm this prognosis. Retail dealers, in particular, have increased their invest-ment readiness. The recovery of the global economy must now be supported by corporate responsibility: quality production, environmental protection and humane working conditions worldwide. Wanzl fully stands by this responsibility and also sees a binding obligation to its customers, partners and employees.

    In addition to markets in Europe, the Middle East and South America, Wanzl's sights are, of course, also set on Asia. And especially on China, with its prospering consumer market which will be the global leader in around ten years' time. Wanzl has already been active in China's strongly expanding inter-national and national trade for over a decade, with its own local branch. In 2007, the new 25,000 square-metre production plant opened, working to the latest European quality standards. In a few months it will be time for the next Wanzl commitment in China: our new surface coating facility will go into oper-ation. As with all Wanzl facilities, this latest investment in China will also be subject to the highest quality requirements for perfect surface coating and the strictest conditions to protect the environment and employees. Products by Wanzl are always a guarantee and a promise for top-class quality world-wide. Learn more about this 'made by Wanzl' quality and innovation require-ment in the current issue of Wanzl Worldwide, as well as about the activities of the Wanzl business divisions Self-Service Systems, Displays, Shopfitting, Hotel Service, Passenger Handling Services as well as Logistics + Industry. You can experience this innovative strength 'live' at the new Wanzl CreativeCenter. Wanzl bids you a warm welcome!

    "Sheer driving pleasure" The brand identity of BMW

    The construction of a brand identity becomes visible in the BMW brand example: the 'pleasure' company mission identi-fies the inner core of the brand, the words 'dynamic', 'challeng-ing' and 'cultivated' show what the BMW brand stands for. The brand identity expresses the formative nature and char-acteristic attributes of a brand and explains what a brand stands for. It defines the self-appreciation, the appearance and the behaviour of the brand for its customers.* The cus-tomer benefits that the brand is supposed to achieve from the perspective of the provider and the specific competencies of the brand take centre stage.

    Value adding itemsEXPERT TOPIC

    Added value through strong brands

    Could you briefly introduce us to the brand topic?Prof. Dr. gerti Papesch: As long ago as in antiquity, manu fac-turers branded their goods to show their origin and identity. With increasing industrialisation, the branding of products increased too, in order to make goods desirable compared to unbranded products and to position them differently. In the past few decades, the importance of brands has increased significantly. Reasons for this increase in importance can, for one, be found in market-related frameworks, such as the growing product and brand diversity or in the increasing exchangeability of products, for example. Enterprise objec-tives are also naturally affected by market growth, and the increase of value.

    So, an established brand means greater market success?Studies substantiate the advantages of strong brands: they have higher operating ratios than weaker brands, offer good opportunities for growth as well as for capitalisation through brand expansion and have high brand loyalty. Strong brands are deeply anchored in the memory structures of consumers.

    For example, Shell is a strong brand: merely the sight of the stylised shell trademark (which has been developed over more than a century) is enough for the customer to link this symbol to the Shell name. A brand is an image of a product present in the psyche of the customer. Brands are therefore benefit bundles that are composed of functional prop-erties such as quality or origin, and symbolic properties such as brand names or the char-ac ter of the brand. And the stronger the functional and symbolic properties of a brand differentiate themselves from competitors' offers, the more distinct the brand becomes and the more the brand value grows.

    The emotional power of the brand

    In a blind test of the Coca-Cola and Pepsi brands, the testers preferred 51 % Pepsi 44 % Coca-Cola 5 % found one drink as good as the other.

    The test results were completely different with the presentation of the brand: the testers preferred 65 % Coca-Cola 23 % Pepsi 12 % found one drink as good as the other.

    2008, P.10

  • 6 Can you substantiate an example of a brand?Let's take an arbitrary product such as trainers: a normal pair of trainers from the supermarket cost around 20 euros. A pair of trainers by Puma, Nike or Asics cost around five times as much. There are many possible reasons for this, for example, the choice of material, the processing or the ergonomics but one reason is very clear: the targeted branding over decades. The high value brand has managed to build and maintain a stable, long-term and enduring brand-customer rela-tionship in order to increase the brand value. The tasks of branding included the develop-ment of a brand identity are brand position-ing, the designing of the brand, as well as the construction of brand awareness and brand image.

    WWW WANzL WORLDWIDE No 9 | 2010

    What do you have to do to make a brand successful?Defining brand identity is the foundation of branding: brand identity creates the customer's trust in the brand, which leads to customer and brand loyalty. BMW, for example, masters these tasks perfectly. In order to allow brand identity to have an outward effect, it has to be positioned. Positioning ensures that the brand is both attractive and unique and that it is significantly set apart from competitors' brands in the eyes of consumers and is therefore preferable to them. Brand identity and positioning create the framework for the design and firm establishment of the brand in the form of brand names and trademarks. Branding gives the brand its unmistakable look and helps produce the desired associations with consumers and to speed up the construction of brand recognition and image. The best example is Coca-Cola. Instruments of mass communication such as advertising, but also flagship stores or brand lands help establish the brand. Successful brands don't have customers, but have fans instead.

    Prof. Dr. Gerti Papesch studied economic management theory and received a doctorate in commercial information technology. During her job in the R&D department in an international market research company and as the marketing manager of a large supply company in Bavaria, Germany she gained experience in every aspect of marketing in differing departments. She is the owner of the consulting company Papesch Management and Marketing, and has been a professor in Media management at the Mediadesign Hochschule Munich, since 2009.

    Strategy brand

    Mostly there are combinations of brand strategies in companies, such as Henkel as an umbrella brand in the back-ground and Persil as a single brand, for example. Henkel has three globally active enterprise divisions: washing and cleaning products, cosmetics/personal hygiene as well as Adhesive Technologies with a total of around 90 single brands, such as Pril, ATA, Schwarzkopf, Fa or Pattex.

    2 Logo from the 1970s: the textual logo with the shopping trolley pictogram

    3 The new Wanzl logo fuses modernity with timelessness. Today, the brand stands for the seven business divisions of Self-Service Systems, Displays, Shopfitting, Hotel Service, Passenger Handling Services, Security Products and Logistics + Industry.

    EXPERT TOPIC

    CVWhat does that mean for branding in the 21st century?Whether companies are facing the decision to introduce new brands or to restructure existing brands, a suitable market strategy has to be chosen. This offers three basic strategic options: the single brand strategy, the family brand strategy or the enterprise brand strategy. Which strategy a company chooses depends on the calibre of the company, the needs of the target group and the competitive environment. The basic strategic options in their purest form are seldom used in practice. Mostly there are strategic combinations such as Henkel as an umbrella brand and Persil as a single brand, for example, in order to satisfy the needs of the target group. And it is to these needs that the branding ultimately has to orientate itself in order to build strong and successful brands.

    Due to the small font size, the small print on goods labels is often difficult to read even for those with normal vision. However, Wanzl now offers new, strong magnifier solutions. Because responsible customers want to be in the picture and have many questions, especially about food prod-ucts: best before date, ingredients, capacity and weight. One glance at the legally required product declaration simplifies the purchase decision and protects consumers. Particularly in view of the growing number of people with allergies and the consumer desire for products without artificial additives.

    U1: revival of the fifties

    The 1950s: germany were football world champions, Chancellor Adenauer integrated West germany in the Western community and the economic miracle began. From the mid1950s, private purchasing power increased rapidly whilst living costs remained static. So, there was more money left over for consumerism and the germans went on a real spending spree: furniture, cars, holidays, electronic devices. Prosperity for all was the maxim of the time anybody who works hard should be able to treat themselves.

    The U1 decoration team transported this zeitgeist into the 21st century: in Spring 2010, the 1950s style consum erism lifestyle found its way into selected shop windows and special

    instore areas of 30 U1 stores in Germany for two months. The U1 decoration team led by Philipp Ketterl had many great ideas. "The consumerism of the 1950s was progressive and aggressive. The comfortable prosperity in the privacy of one's own home with canned food, coffee filters, washing powder and hair products from the supermarkets was mixed with a rebellious youth culture." Jeans and rock 'n' roll are in sep a rably linked to this era. "It is exactly this attitude to life like James Dean and Elvis Presley that we are projecting in the U1 stores."

    THE INNoVATIVE rETAIl CHAIN made its name with the

    U1 concept store in the Whrl Haupthaus on the Ludwigsplatz

    in Nuremberg with 3,500 square metres, making it Germany's

    largest store for young fashion, shoes and acces sories. Here

    every 'in' brand for stylish outfits can be found from low bud-

    get to international jeans and fashionable brands.

    of the Year' award in 2006. U1 belongs to the Whrl Group.

    Because of trademark laws, the U1 decoration team out-lined a new, unique range of goods of a supermarket designed in 1950s style. And it was exactly at this time that self-service found its feet and shopping trolleys began their triumphant advance around the world.

    In 2010, U1 decided on the current plastic shopping trolley 'Tango' by Wanzl. "We wanted to consciously create a modern contrast to the design ideas of the 1950s", says Philipp Ketterl. "The modern shape of the 'Tango' shopping trolley in its sparkling ultramarine blue was simply perfect. Just as ideal as the high basket volume of 220 litres, which offered a great deal of space for the presentation of the current U1 fashion-wear." 185 'Tango' shopping trolleys by Wanzl presented in 45 of the U1 shop windows as well as the instore design idea '1950s consumerism'. Hanging signs in 1950s style drew extra attention to special offers. Every U1 store was also designed according to a script precisely designed by decorative experts. Fashion, lifestyle, music the 1950s idea was very well received by the predominantly young U1 customers.

    CoNSISTENT DESIgN: Matching the design of the U1 shop

    windows and U1 areas instore, the www.u1-fashion.de web-

    site was also in 1950s style.

    THE 1950s STylE AlSo CoNTINUED INSTorE: highly

    visible hanging signs in a retro style inform customers of

    current special offers. Plus the voluminous 'Tango' shopping

    trolleys offer a great deal of space for the merchandise

    presentation.

    International meeting point for supply and demand

    Leading trade fairsSELF-SERVICE SYSTEMS

    Worldwide, the range of trade fairs is huge: Today, nearly every industry has not just one but several trade fairs on offer in various trade exhibition centres. However, there are only very few real leading trade fairs. The question is, when can a trade fair be described as a leading trade fair? If it has the most visitors? If it achieves the greatest media impact? No, it's not that simple. In the trade fair industry, it is agreed that a trade fair can only be classed as a leader if it simul-taneously meets several criteria: It must be the greatest of its kind in its trade fair topic or market sector according to three criteria: firstly, regarding the number of visitors and exhibitors worldwide, secondly, regarding the completeness of range and, thirdly, regarding its degree of internationality. Leading trade fairs are regarded as unique industry pioneers and showcase industry trends, whereby the internationally relevant supply must be re flected by international demand.

    Amongst the total of around 150 truly leading trade fairs worldwide, approximately two thirds take place at german trade fair centres. For example, the Dsseldorf Messe stages 40 trade fairs, of which 20 alone are the worldwide number 1 in their industry. The best example is EuroShop, The Global Retail Fair. Since it first took place in 1966, EuroShop has devel oped into a worldwide leader in trade fairs for capital goods for the trade. It sets the standard in quality, diversity and internationality. The continuing growth of EuroShop during the last four decades can be primarily traced to the fact that it has consistently adapted itself to the changing needs of this trade. Its range has been constantly developed and expanded. EuroShop is also an impressive further attes-tation to the trend that has seen trade fairs growing into much more than their original function, of bringing together supply and demand. Forums for ideas and opinions develop from the trade fair marketing instrument. EuroShop is an industry event that has become both a trend barometer and a platform for innovation through the integration of new themes, every three years.

    Expo 2010"Better City, Better Life"

    Since the start of May, the Expo 2010 in Shanghai has dedicated itself to the urban challenges of the 21st century: China has chosen "Better City, Better Life" as its main theme. Because precisely in the Expo 2010 host country, the country with the most megacities in the world, these challenges become evident. Consequently, the Expo site, spanning more than five square kilometres, is situated only around five kilo-metres south of Shanghai city centre.

    one of the main attractions named Expo Axis is a 1,000 metrelong central boulevard. This leads to five theme pavilions, which are dedicated to various aspects of urban de- vel opment: 'Urban Footprints', 'Urban Planet', 'Urban Dwellers', 'Urban Beings' and 'Urban Dreams'. A further central place of interest is the Chinese Pavilion with 80,000 square metres of exhibition space. Here the entrance hall, a connecting element between the country pavilions of the participating states and organisations, can be found.

    Additionally, the Expo 2010 is a world exhibition of superlatives: China is expect-ing up to 70 million visitors, including approx. 3.5 million guests from abroad. With around 240 participant states, including countries such as Germany and its neighbour states Switzerland, Austria, France and Poland as well as international organisations such as the Red Cross and the United Nations, the Expo Shanghai has already reached world record proportions. The Expo 2010 will be open until the end of October.

    The Middle kingdom is booming: completely unaffected by recent economic upheaval, the Chinese retail industry con-tinues to demonstrate growth rates in double figures, com-pared to previous years. Economists forecast an increase of 16 % for 2010. The dramatic increase in household incomes over the last decade an impressive 98 % among the middle classes and the decrease in private savings rates, especially among the younger generation, are driving China's consump-tion. Average consumer spending per capita currently stands at around EUR 70 a month, with a great deal of upward potential. China has now launched an economic stimulus pro-gramme especially for farmers to purchase consumer goods. The state pays the farmer 13 % of the purchase price, in cash. This incentive programme has been set up for a period of four years to revive domestic demand. By 2020, the Chinese pro-

    portion of worldwide consumption is set to rise from the current 8 % to 21 %. This will make China the joint largest consumer mar-ket in the world alongside the USA. Just like consumption, expansion in retail is forging ahead unabated. Carrefour is planning 20 new stores this year, with similar progress ex -pected by Walmart. The retailer CR Vanguard from Shenzhen increased its presence in China by 380 stores last year alone. And the largest Chinese retailers Gome, Suning and Bailian continue on their growth course.

    Customer opinions

    High product quality, punctual delivery and excellent aftersales service: these are the values that the two Chinese retailers Tianhong and Chaoshifa value particularly highly of their partner Wanzl. Both companies have been customers for around four years.

    During that time, Wanzl has supplied prod ucts including over 4,000 shopping trol-leys with various basket volumes to Tianhong. Current orders have been placed in 2010 by the Tianhong stores in Beijing and Dongguan.

    Chaoshifa has so far ordered over 3,000 shopping and transport trolleys. The most recent Wanzl deliveries went to Chaoshifa stores in Hanjiachuan, zhangjiakou and Chende.

    Dairy Farm, one of Asia's leading retailers and the market leader in Hong Kong, has been a Wanzl customer for more than 15 years. To date, Dairy Farm has ordered in excess of 45,000 shopping trolleys, with Wanzl China supplying the retailer directly since 2007. Dairy Farm sets great store by the price / performance ratio, product diversity and service offered by Wanzl.

    Wanzl as a partner

    Western quality standards new surface treatments

    As a partner of the national and international retail sector, Wanzl has already enjoyed a local presence for twelve years in the form of its own subsidiary in Shanghai and is therefore well acquainted with the market. In 2007, the new, modern production plant, almost 25,000 m2 in size, complete with adjoining administrative complex, was opened in Shanghai's Song Jiang industrial zone. The vast company site measuring over 70,000 m2 offers plenty of room for expansion.

    The plant, with around 300 employees, is EN ISO 9000-certified and works according to total quality management principles. EN ISO 14000 environmental certification is cur-rently in preparation.

    New PoS presence for Nobby

    For our four-legged friendsDISPLAYS

    our love of animals is booming. One of the best exam-ples of this affection are the Germans, with a third of house-holds owning one or more pets. The market catering to our love of animals offers great potential, and is characterised by the increasing importance of sophisticated merchandise pres entation and brand staging at the PoS. Nobby Pet Shop GmbH, based in Bocholt in Germany, supplies the German market for pet products and European wholesalers with more than 6,000 products for dogs, cats, rodents and birds and is well aware of the importance of creating the right presence at the PoS. As such, Nobby is using the Wanzl POSsibility display to continuously showcase more than 90 different snacks for dogs, cats and rodents at secondary locations in the German pet market. The displays are delivered fully stocked and can be regularly refilled by Nobby employees as required. Melanie Felix, CEO of Nobby, explains: "We selected POSsibility because Wanzl developed the display to our precise wishes and requirements. For us, the eye-catching display results in targeted impulse buying, thereby increasing sales opportunities and brand loyalty."

    ftex food loves food with every ounce of its being! It's all about food here. There are now six ftex food stores in Denmark, each opening up a whole new world for gour-mets and customers who appreciate high-quality food. The fresh meat section, the bakery with its fresh crusty bread and croissants, the exquisite choice of fine wines and the unique scent of the fruit and vegetable section, with its extensive range of hand-picked specialities from selected international producers, all make shopping a special experience. Nowhere else between Kattegat and Skagerrak can customers find this level of quality combined with such product philosophy and variety. And all at affordable prices. ftex food's mission is to supply its customers with high-quality, fresh food for their daily needs. Many Danish customers appreciate this promise,

    after all, we are what we eat and drink. Dis-cerning food shoppers have questions and want to try samples before they buy. To meet this need, various events are held each Friday afternoon, giving customers the opportunity to meet their trusted butcher in person, and sample seasonal fruit and vegetables. They can also try the wines of the week in the wine section. If customers have any questions, the trained sales personnel are bound to know the answers. >

    ftex

    The first ftex store was opened in 1960 in rhus and was a vision of modernity. Never before had Denmark seen so many product ranges all under one roof: high-quality groceries, fresh produce such as fruit and vegetables and even clothing and home textiles.

    The store was just like the US supermarkets on which it was based. The man behind ftex was Herman Salling. Salling revolutionised the way people shopped in Denmark and came up with the name ftex: a combination of the words fdevarer (food) and textil (textiles). Salling's decision to open his first store was a brave one he had a starting capital of just 800 Danish Krone (EUR 107). But he who dares, wins: Just one month after opening, turnover at the store reached an impressive 4,000 Danish Krone (approx. EUR 537).

    Today, it takes less than 10 seconds to generate this amount at ftex. There are now 77 ftex stores and six ftex food stores in Denmark. ftex belongs to the Dansk Super-marked Gruppen, Denmark's biggest retail chain.

The 1,200 m2 store in Skring was the first ftex food store to be equipped with the wire tech shop fitting system, installed nearly two years ago by Wanzl and its sub sidiary company Expedit. Wanzl and Expedit, one of the largest providers of shop solutions in Scandinavia, have now introdu-ced the shop concepts in the five other ftex food stores.

    The retailer is also very active in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. And the commitment to south-eastern Europe continues: in 2007, Mercator entered Montenegro, followed by Bulgaria and Albania two years later. Mercator invests primarily in large shopping centres in the capital cities as well as in smaller regional markets.

    Would you tell us more about the shopfitting concept of Mercator?Since Mercator opened its first shopping centres and hyper-markets, we have cultivated an intensive co-operation strategy with manufacturers and suppliers of shopfitting solutions. We continually work on attractive and enticing market concepts

    for our customers. We have never been satis-fied with ordinary instore ideas. We look for the ideal solution and actively involve our-selves with our experience and know-how in all the planning and development phases.

    What does the Mercator strategy actually look like?We encourage our business partners to con-tinually offer us new solutions and test them out in practice. At the same time, Mercator promotes standardisation processes in order to pass on high quality as well as creative, modern and functional solutions to various store formats.

    Store conceptstechnological processes. This commitment is paying off: customers happily return to Mercator markets and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and great shopping experience.

    Which Mercator shops have shown themselves to be particularly innovative?The renovation and extension of the ika hypermarket in Ljubljana in 2007 with a new store concept implemented here for the first time is most notable. The entire notion was redesigned, and numerous innovative technologies and energy- efficient solutions were realised. We had very little time to implement all the ideas and additionally to our supplier, we co-operated with an external consultancy agency. The store in the Maxi Market passage in Ljubljana is also a design we are proud of. Constant exchange of experience with external consultants as well with our suppliers took place here, and, because the entire building is listed, there was a complete need for coordination with one another. But I have to say: the end result of imaginative and visually attractive design, combined with the technological solutions to the latest standard in this Maxi Market represent a breakthrough in store design in Slovenia. This is clear to see by the reactions of our customers.

    In 1997, Toma Smeh founded Smeh d.o.o. in ljubljana, Slovenia. Within 13 years the regionally orientated retail chain supplier became a healthy growing business with 25 employ-ees. Smeh has been a successful Wanzl representative in Slovenia since it was established. Meanwhile, its business activities have extended to Croatia and Serbia. Today, Smeh is considered an expert in the development and realisation of instore concepts, taking into consideration regional charac-teristics and customer preferences. The special strength of Smeh, working together with Wanzl as a shopfitting specialist, is the optimum use of the floor space.

    In June 2009 the latest important milestone was passed: Smeh opened a new logistics centre with 1,200 square metres of storage space, office space and a show room in Stara Pazova, Serbia. This investment has allowed Smeh to intensify its business activities south-eastern Europe. At the same time, the company is perceived and accepted as a 'local supplier' by its trade customers in Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia.

    Pit stopF1: Polish Tabak Group goes drive-thru

    Shop without leaving the car? Drive-thru like at McDonalds! Use the microphone to order from the F1 team, pay, accept your goods and off you go. The Polish Tabak Group, owned by the Strapagiel family, has recently been investing in this sales idea in Poland: The Formel F1 stop tu shop shopping concept (rights-protected throughout Europe) focuses on efficient drive-thru shopping with pit stops. Just drive your car under the roof of the F1 shop, where you are protected from all weather conditions. Stop at one of the Pit Stops marked by display. Take a look at approximately 2,500 well-presented articles at various heights such as tobacco pro ducts, spirits and groceries that have been arranged behind large display windows on wire tech shelves made by Wanzl, and place your order. Stop finally at the last Pit Stop of the retail lane and pay. The F1 employee then places the pur-chased goods in the boot of your vehicle.

    In 2009, the Tabak group opened the first F1 shop in kalisz (Poland), open 24 / 7. Additional F1 franchise locations are planned in Gdask, Szczecin, Bydgoszcz, Toru, Pozna, Warsaw, Wrocaw, Lublin, Leszno, Ostrw Wielkopolski and zakopane. The aver-age floor space for each site is approximately 300 square metres. The ideal location for an F1 shop is in the direct vicinity of busy roads within urban areas, with more than 15,000 inhabitants. Several logistics centres across Poland are planned for daily deliveries to future F1 shops.

    Non-Food: Farnham Honda showcase project

    For bikersSHOPFITTING

    Working with motorcycle giants Honda, the Shop fitting team in the Uk have achieved an important promotional breakthrough for the very latest Wanzl nonfood retail display systems. Ideally located close to London, the Farnham Honda accessories outlet utilises duo tech, fino tech, rima tech and cuna tech to create a modern, visually exciting space for the display of high quality motorcycling equipment and clothing. duo tech gondolas occupy the main floor space, while fino tech is used for vertical elements, with rima tech and cuna tech as horizontal display components.

    Head of Shopfitting in the Uk, Clive Jury said that the installation of these stateoftheart systems was an important breakthrough for the promotion of Wanzl nonfood retail solutions outside mainland Europe. This is a first for these systems in the UK and we have already enjoyed a highly positive response from major motorcycling and automotive customers visiting the Farnham Honda site. Our ability to deliver bespoke colour detail and modern, durable finishes to

    complement and enhance corporate ID has impressed our visitors. The Farnham location has proved to be ideal because it is close to the major London market and to Heathrow, enabling visitors from further away a fly in, fly out visit on the same day. Commencing in April, we were able to design and deliver and fit the entire Farnham Honda solution in 12 weeks. This is a credit to the UK Shop-fitting team and is a further incentive to our non-food retail customers to choose Wanzl when a high quality, concept-to-completion shopfitting solution is required all at a single point of contact.

    The penchant for superlatives in Dubai is still going strong. The recently opened Burj Khalifa or Dubai Tower has held a new record since the beginning of the year: at 828 metres tall, it is the world's tallest skyscraper. On a clear day, the top of the building can be seen from over a hundred kilometres away. But this isn't the only record held by Burj Khalifa and its dazzling metal and glass frontage: housing both offices and accommodation, it has the highest number of floors (over 160) and the highest occupied floor in the world. The design of this mega tower was even a journey of discovery for its architects, as chief architect Adrian Smith from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in the US confirms. Burj Khalifa can hold up to 12,000 workers and residents.

    More than 30 companies from germany were involved in the construction of this recordbreaking tower. For example, the patented pumps originate from Baden-Wrttemberg and were used to deliver the concrete to world-record heights within 20 minutes. Wanzl is also one of the sup-pliers to Burj Khalifa: the Secure minibar filling trolley is assisting the execution of impeccable round-the-clock room service in the world's first Armani Hotel. Open since the spring, this designer venue is set to become Dubai's most exclusive hotel >

Swimming pools, a fitness, sauna and wellness area, restaurants and a business centre are of course all located at Kempinski Doha. Kempinski first discovered what Wanzl's Hotel Service division has to offer in France, and was impressed.

    The dome of the Aquaworld Budapest water park is a record breaker: it has a diameter of 72 metres and a height of five stories, creating 4,200 square metres of covered area, so spacious it could accommodate an entire family of blue whales. In other words: the Aquaworld dome is twice as big as the dome of St. Stephen's Basilica, the patron saint of Poland, in Esztergom. or as big as 100 apartments.

    15 of the total of 17 pools, with over 3,300 square metres of water, are in operation all year round. The surfing pool, unique in Hungary, even creates a guaranteed beach feeling in the north of Budapest at the bridge head of the Pest, at the Megyeri Bridge. Eleven slides including the Wideslide, which offers enough space for three people to slide next to one another, and the fast Onion slide offer a total of a kilometre of sliding fun in the pool. Bathers can reach the huge slide tower, from which there are six slides, either by stairs or via the panoramic lift. The bravest can also jump from a 17 metre tall diving platform here. The integrated endless elevator system continuously brings the required slide accessories,

    such as tyres, back to the start. Adventurous types can allow themselves to be swept along a 180 metre mountain river between boulders. The Aquaworld Budapest water theme

    park, opened at the end of 2008, is unique in Hungary and Central Europe and can hold up to 1,800 bathers at once. The Aquaworld President Katalin Pfandler was able to wel-come the 100,000th visitor only ten weeks after opening.

    The fourstar Superior ramada resort Buda pest, a wellness and conference hotel, is attached with direct access to the Aquaworld Budapest water theme park. Just like the water park, the hotel's services are also unique to the Hungarian capital: 309 rooms, suites and apartments with internet connec-tion offer the ultimate in comfort with an elegant ambience. The 48 two and three bed-room apartments in the attached apartment building, including a children's playhouse that is open all day, are ideal for guests enjoying a longer stay. Families with children in particular can feel at home here whilst at the same time enjoying the advantages of a four-star service. Childcare is taken care of and it's a good job too, because the Oriental Spa and Wellness World with the mandala bath, a Haman bath, the Finnish sauna, steam bath and numerous other sauna facilities is an oasis of calm.

    The ramada resort Aquaworld Budapest stands for experience and relaxation. At the same time, the 8.6 hectare resort, built in two years at a total cost of 70 million euros, is also an ideal business location: the conference room with state-of-the-art technical equipment can accommodate 1,000 people. Around a further 500 people can be held in the largest hall, which can be divided into 15 rooms of various sizes with moveable walls as required. On the highest floor of the hotel there is also a 200 person banquet hall for exclu-sive events. The view from the adjoining panoramic terrace overlooking the Buda hills alone is well worth a look. Leisure and business guests alike, depending on how they feel, can choose between a buffet and an -la-carte restaurant. Both Hungarian and International specialities are served. The inter-nationally active Ramada International hotel chain, belonging to the Wyndham Hotel Group, is the hotel operator. Wyndham owns more than 63,000 hotels in over 100 countries on six continents.

    Africa is a continent with great potential: its popula-tion exceeds one billion people. In the next 40 years, Africa's population is set to more than double to 2.3 billion people. According to a new study undertaken by the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI) entitled Strategy 2030 Africa, Africa as an economic area has become the second most dynamic in the world after south-east Asia. Average economic growth is set to hit 4.7 % this year, with work to expand the infrastructure proceeding at lightning pace. Wanzl, the global market leader for luggage transport trolleys, has now expanded its position as the leading supplier of trolley solutions to include the African continent. Wanzl delivered 7,600 Euro-Sprinter luggage transport trolleys, suitable for use on escalators, to its long-standing customer ACSA the operator of a total of 10 airports in South Africa to be used in the Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town airports for the Football World Cup.

    Port Elizabeth International was also equip-ped with 200 Travel 300 trolleys. What is more, the latter's outstanding price / per-formance ratio won over numerous north- African airports. Wanzl received the latest major tender from Tunisian airports: a total of 2,200 Travel 300 BL trolleys were deliv ered to six Tunisian airports in June. This means that Wanzl trolleys are ready for use by passengers at almost every airport in Tunisia, a favourite tourist destination of many.

    Two of the retail industrys leading suppliers have joined forces to develop a new generation of product picking trolleys. X2 Computing, one of the UKs fastest growing sup-pliers of mobile computing solutions, has teamed up with, one of the worlds largest manufacturers of high quality retail equipment Wanzl, to offer a range of new custom-built picking trolleys, with integrated IT solutions, to meet the individual requirements of retail and warehouse operations. The new trolleys are easier to use, provide increased additional picking capacity and deliver significant cost savings and efficiencies throughout the e-fulfilment process. Our commitment to developing custom mobile computing solutions for these sec-tors has resulted in significant orders from some of the worlds

    largest home shopping operations in the UK, USA, Portugal, Scandinavia and Australia, commented Francis Davis, Managing Director of X2 Computing. Integrating best-of-breed computing technology with custom trolleys designed by the X2 team and built by one of the worlds most innovative manufacturers will streamline the product picking process and enable retailers to provide a faster and more efficient customer service.

    The original concept for the trolleys was developed in close partnership with a number of global retail brands. They are now being used by Waitrose as part of its WaitroseDeliver home shopping service in the UK. Each trolley is equipped with an onboard scanner and a tablet PC powered by a small, lightweight all-day battery solution. The battery, tablet PC and scanner are easily removed for charging or replacement enabling the trolleys to be safely stored outside to maximise in-store retail floor space. This also enables the trolleys to be used in smaller retail premises where space is at a premium. X2 Computing and Wanzl Logistics + Industry have also developed a range of custom modular charging solutions housed in secure cabinets with the capacity to store and charge multiple computers and batteries.

    WAITroSE, one of the largest super-

    market chains in Great Britain is known

    for high quality and the freshness and

    variety of the products. That is why

    Waitrose is appointed a 'royal supplier'

    According to Wolfgang kaup, Head of logistics + Industry for Wanzl gmbH and Doug Jeffery, Head of logistics + Industry for Wanzl Uk: We are both delighted to be working in partnership with X2 Computing to develop a new genera-tion of picking trolleys to meet the increasing demand for customised e-fulfilment solutions. The combined expertise of two market-leading suppliers has resulted in a unique and powerful solution that is scalable to high volume quality prod-uction standards. It will speed up the product picking process, reduce error rates and deliver a lower cost of ownership. This new generation of picking trolleys is designed and custom- built from the ground up to customer specifications in a wide range of different sizes and configurations. They feature a number of innovations including an integrated braking system and a fifth, central wheel that reduces steering forces by up to 80 % compared with traditional fixed wheel systems. This results in a reduced turning circle and provides high levels of manoeuvrability using one hand an important benefit when the trolleys are fully loaded.

    Pick to Light carts: Order picking, sorting and packing

    Exercises for reading and writing, historical themes presented clearly, learning modules for environmental studies or geography: Noordhoff Uitgevers is the largest education and schoolbook publisher in the Netherlands. Over 400 employees use a great deal of fun, creativity and profession-alism to create educational material for Dutch primary and secondary schools. Noordhoff Uitgevers is also involved in vocational train-ing, further education and higher education with books, journals, supplementary digital learning materials and other services. Millions of items pass through the distribution centre in Groningen each year. Since April 2010, nine specially customised order picking carts from Wanzl have been supporting efficient logistics management at Noordhoff Uitgevers. Within three months of the contract being signed at the end of 2009, Wanzl developed a cart solution tailored to the requirements and wishes of Noordhoff Uitgevers.

    In the second step, INTHEr logistics Engineering, which has been a software specialist for the integration of automatic warehouse and order picking systems for the last ten years, equipped the Wanzl order picking carts with the INTHEr lC automation software for Pick to light carts. "In order to exactly meet the individual requirements in each case, INTHER develops the pick carts in a customer-specific way", explains Mike Strijbos, INTHER Manager Project Depart-ment. The number of order picking positions per cart is de pend ent on the order profile; for example at Noordhoff Uitgevers it is twelve places per cart. For every one of these twelve order picking positions, a Pick to Light module was installed on the pick cart, which is powered by a battery inte-grated in the pick cart. Thanks to the static installation of the Pick to Light modules on the pick carts, instead of on the numerous storage spaces in the Noordhoff Uitgevers ware-house, significantly fewer modules were needed, and there-fore substantial cost savings were made. A wireless RF module was installed for the connection of the pick carts' INTHER LC software to the Noordhoff Uitgevers Warehouse Management System. This module works according to the latest wireless network technology.

    For more than ten years, INTHEr logistics Engineering has specialised in software for the integration of automatic warehousing and order picking systems. Their own devel-opments include a voice recognition system and order picking with Pick to Light and Sort by Light systems, for example. Additionally, INTHER also uses RF scanning and RFID inte-gration. The automation system INTHER LC is used in warehouses, logistics centres and production facilities worldwide.

    As an executive system integrator, INTHER is therefore the one stop shop for its custom ers and on hand for all matters relating to logistical automation. Today, with subsidi-aries in the Netherlands, Germany, Moldova and the USA, INTHER operates in many differ ent types of business as a general con-tractor: logistics, retail/food, fashion, pharma-ceuticals, cosmetics, books and magazines, spare parts and multimedia.

    cart directly onto the conveyor belt

    that saves time and money. Here, the

    cartons are assessed, semi-automatically

    sealed, labelled and shipped.

    The order picking itself saves time, money and legwork: incoming orders are grouped together according to identical item positions, using IT. The picker then receives their order batch and the associated pick cart. The first order picking position is displayed on the central display of the pick cart and then an employee goes to this position with the pick cart and confirms the position or the item barcode with an RF scanner. Then the Pick to Light modules on the pick cart light up for the orders that require these items. At the same time, respective display shows the required order picking quantity. The employee picks the item quantity as shown on the display and presses the switch on the Pick to Light module to confirm. A great advantage of the Pick to Light Cart System is the possibility to complete numerous orders at once (multi order picking). "The integrated INTHER LC software calculates the ideal batch for a Pick to Light cart on the basis of the ABC sorting of items and on order priority. This procedure reduces the walking distance in the warehouse enormously", says INTHER Project Manager Willem Verhalle. The items picked are immediately distributed across the various orders in the pick cart. A further time saving is achieved during packaging by directly order picking into the cartoned shipping container. This all results in a system that simultaneously picks, sorts and packages.

    During its 60-year company history, Wolford has established itself as a luxury brand in the premium sector of the international fashion world.

    Top labelLOGISTICS + INDUSTRY

    The Wolford brand has been registered as a protected trade mark since 1950. A year before this, the industrialist Reinhold Wolff from Vorarlberg and the retail entrepre-neur Walter Palmers from Vienna had already founded the company Wolff & Co. KG in Bregenz, Lake Constance. With its own dye works and moulding shop, the company started manufacturing nylon stockings in the same year that nylon was first introduced to Europe. During the coming six decades, the company developed from a leg and body-wear provider to an internationally acclaimed premium brand with a product portfolio

    cover ing your wardrobe from head to toe. Core areas are the well-established product groups of legwear, ready-to-wear and lingerie. Swimwear made from high-quality materials as well as textile accessories and belts that draw attention through exciting details also form part of the range. By the 1980s, Wolford was already implementing the ideas of inter-national designers who caused a furore on the catwalks with their creations. In the mid-1990s, the first design coopera-tions began, with Wolford meets Vivienne Westwood and Wolford + Lagerfeld Gallery by Karl Lagerfeld. Further seasonal co-brandings followed, such as with Kenzo, Emilio Pucci and Valentino. Today, Wolford AG, which was floated on the stock exchange in Vienna and Paris in 1995 with the LADY AKTIE shares, has 14 subsidiaries worldwide and markets its

    WolForD Luxury brand for 60 years.

  • 49

    prod ucts in around 65 countries using monobrand boutiques and trade partners as well as online shops.

    on its journey to becoming a luxury brand, Wolford proved itself time and again a pioneer in the fashion world. As early as 1953, the first double perlon stockings were introduced on the market and, in the following years, production expanded rapidly following the acquisition of circular knitting machines. With the first seamless stockings, Fatal, Wolford caused a furore in the fashion world. Even today, these stockings that do not show under clinging clothes are one of the Wolford bestsellers. To date, Wolford still works with circular knitting machines, which guarantee unmistakable knitting competency. Claiming to be a luxury brand is based among other things

    on an uncompromising focus on quality that is maintained throughout all areas of the company, from material purchasing and prod uction right through to distribution, says Holger Dahmen, CEO of Wolford AG, to explain the consistent brand strategy.

    ready for loading: To support Wolford in maintaining its high quality standards, Wanzl delivered mobile containers to Bregenz in February 2010 that were made-to-measure specially to Wolford's requirements for the transportation of textile products between the individual finishing stages. Wanzl provided the theft-proof Customized Solutions with a rod construction for picking up textiles as well as foil covers for protection against dirt and dust.

    Wolford quality

    only the finest yarns in the world that pass numerous quality tests find their way into Wolford production. The final finishing of a stocking requires up to 16 work processes, a body up to 25 and a swimsuit even up to 45. Knitting a stocking alone to Wolford quality standards takes between four and fifteen minutes. The following finishing of the foot part requires 35 stitches per centimetre. Then it goes for washing, followed by the dyeing process. The end process is the precise prod-uct control with quality approval. Not until then can they say: ready for international dispatch!
