Vetter, a globally operating CDMO, announced it will be expanding its pharmaceutical materials warehouse in Ravensburg to meet increasing market demand and support the company’s organic growth. 

With a further investment of over €150 million, this expansion will add 16,000 pallet spaces to the existing 13,000 pallet spaces for cool storage. After the expansion, Vetter will have a total of 68,000 pallet spaces for various temperature requirements.

“Since the opening of our Center for Visual Inspection and Logistics in 2012, we have been on a continuous journey to enhance our storage capabilities for both room temperature and cold storage,” says Carsten Press, Vetter Managing Director. “The latest phase of construction marks a strategic step in our warehouse development, driven by the increasing need for cool chain due to the many temperature-sensitive medications.”

The newly expanded building will focus primarily on cold storage, as well as chest and walk-in freezer capacity, specifically designed for high-profile pharmaceutical products and associated materials.

In addition to the high-bay warehouse expansion, the new 22,500 square meter building will house sample storage for stability testing, additional manual and automated visual inspection rooms, a new staff canteen, dedicated areas for offices, and a data center.

The warehouse expansion started in late 2024, with additional storage space expected to be operational in 2028. The first milestone is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 when the shell of the building will be completed.
