GERRY WEBER CIFF Showrooms B0-201 GERRY WEBER SIGNS UP SUPER MODEL TO STAR IN NEW CAMPAIGN GERRY WEBER signs up international super model Eva Herzigova to star in a new campaign for autumn/winter 2017/18. - GERRY WEBER is a strong brand for women that stands for brand values such as feminine, casual chic and inspiring.

GERRY WEBER NEW LOGISTICS AT GERRY WEBER GERRY WEBER introduced its new logistic centre in close vicinity of the group’s headquarters in Decem- ber 2015 after a construction phase of only 20 months. Since summer 2016, the centre operates now under full load and can handle up to 30 million items per year. The capacity may be increased to up to 37 million items per year if required. - The new logistic centre replaces our four decentralised logistic structures and pools them in a single lo- cation. We can now simplify shipments to customers and individual stores and have better control over the flow of merchandise, allowing us to optimise the timing of our processes, which is a key advantage. Centralisation in a single warehouse also allows us to respond more effectively to short-term trends and get our merchandise to the stores even more quickly, says Dr. David Frink, Managing Board member of Photo: Dennis Neuschäfer-Rube for GERRY WEBER GERRY WEBER International AG in charge of logistics. With about EUR 90 million invested in the building and the technical equipment, the new logistic centre is the single most important investment in the history of the international fashion and lifestyle company.
