In the following, we will take a closer look at fulfillment in Cologne and the city as an industrial and business location. However, the following is an example of how a future cooperation between VONEXIO and an e-commerce retailer from Cologne could look.
.
As a fulfillment service provider in the Cologne metropolitan area, VONEXIO offers its customers customized logistics and fulfillment concepts for every industry. In Cologne, the food & beverage industry is on the rise. That’s why we would like to show you what makes the work of a fulfillment provider so valuable, using a fictitious food manufacturer as an example:
Three students have fulfilled a dream by founding their own start-up. They got into the brewing business in Cologne. Alteburger Kölsch” is a sustainable and locally produced organic beer with which the newly founded company aims to shake up the Kölsch market. So far, they mainly distribute their product in Kölsch pubs and your online store. To further increase sales, they need higher sales figures. Local supermarkets and kiosks are to serve as multipliers: More awareness = More sales!
Growth is limited with existing storage facilities, available staff and inexperience in the B2B wholesale business. They think through different scenarios to maximize your profit as cost-effectively and efficiently as possible..
They choose the fulfillment partner VONEXIO because of the proximity to the production site and the good conditions. The high cost of expanding the existing storage facility, coupled with the long duration of the conversion, argue against continued use.
The fulfillment service provider convince them with the following attractive service offers:
Outsourcing logistics is a big and important step for the organic Kölsch producer. Outsourcing parts of the business processes means relinquishing responsibility.
In VONEXIO, however, you have a convincing, reliable and locally based fulfillment partner at your side. Nothing more stands in the way of cooperation.

“Kölle” – as the metropolis on the Rhine is called by its inhabitants – is a cosmopolitan city with a diversified economic structure. Thus, there is not only one promising economic sector in Cologne, but six. In addition to the automotive and food industries, these include the media industry, the mechanical engineering sector, the chemical industry and the insurance industry.
Those who can’t find a place in these sectors turn to the gaming industry or the information and communications industry. In a 2018 publication by “Wirtschafts Woche,” Cologne ranks second – behind Hamburg – among Germany’s most digitized cities.
All this is possible in Cologne because the city is equipped with a very good infrastructure. Cologne/Bonn Airport is joined by one of Europe’s most important rail hubs. The Hohenzollern Bridge – one of Cologne’s landmarks – is the busiest railroad bridge in Germany, with 1220 trains per day.
Cologne is an independent city with a population of 1.1 million. The former Hanseatic city is the largest municipality in North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth largest city in Germany.
With more than 2000 years of history, Cologne is a cultural and economic hotspot with an excellent logistical infrastructure. The central traffic location of the metropolis, with three long-distance train stations and Cologne/Bonn Airport, made it an international economic and commercial center then as it is today.
As an important media city, Cologne has numerous television and radio stations (WDR, RTL) but also film studios and publishing houses. Furthermore, the city curates three world-leading trade fairs, Photokina, gamescom and the world’s oldest art fair, artcologne.
All these points make the city an interesting overall package for tourists, residents and especially for businesses. As a fulfillment service provider, VONEXIO takes advantage of the city’s optimal location and has created its headquarters here.
Thanks to a structural change in the 1980s, the slump in the automotive and mechanical engineering industries was cushioned. The city of Cologne created incentives for media companies and still gets benefits of them.
With Westdeutscher Rundfunk and RTL Group, Cologne has two “big players” in German television. But Cologne is also home to many small companies from the media industry, making it a major media city in Germany.
