Who are we?

Faster, bigger, more efficient – that’s what we stand for! Lidl Online International Logistics (LOIL) has played a key role in Lidl’s international logistics strategy for over 15 years. From our headquarters in Neckarsulm (Heilbronn region, Germany), we develop modern, future-oriented logistics concepts and support the establishment of new distribution centres.

Our XXL distribution centre in Venlo (110,000 m²) is a strategic buffer DC within our e-commerce supply chain. The goods are shipped directly from the port to our distribution centre, where we manage buffer stocks for our online distribution centres. From these distribution centres, the orders are shipped to our customers.

What makes our distribution center special? Automation and efficiency!

• Robots unload the containers shipped by our own shipping company.
• The robots place the products on the conveyor belt of our sorting machine, where the boxes are automatically labelled and sorted.

In addition, diversity and inclusion are high on the agenda at Lidl, so that everyone gets equal opportunities and can develop and we prevent discrimination. Together we make Lidl!
