Heilind Electronics Europe, a leading global distributor of interconnect, electromechanical components and fasteners, has opened a new state-of-the-art distribution center in Hanau near Frankfurt, Germany.
The grand opening, which took place on the 23rd of April, reinforces Heilind’s commitment to supporting European innovation while expanding its presence in Western Europe. This new center will strengthen the company’s position in this region whilst supporting growth in Central and Western Europe, namely the DACH region, Benelux, Italy and France for Industrial and MIL/Aero business.

Located in Hanau near Frankfurt, a major logistics hub in Europe, the new distribution center spans over 8 000 m2, including a Value-Add Center and offices. This large surface area allows for increased storage capacity, accommodating more inventory to meet demand fluctuations. The facility offers Value-Added Distribution (VAD) services including kitting, re-reeling, special packaging, connector assembly and more – all tailored to meet the diverse needs of Heilind’s customers across Europe.
“We always aim to be close to our customers so we can provide an even higher level of service”, says Grzegorz Łyszczarz, Managing Director of Heilind Electronics Europe. “Germany has always been a pivotal market for us, and in the past five years we started expanding our presence in the country by opening additional local offices. Despite geopolitical uncertainties affecting the market, our growth has led us to establish a new distribution center here in Hanau. When deciding on the location, accessibility was a primary consideration, with the closeness to Frankfurt Airport and to logistics companies playing a significant role.”

Stefan Barrig, Sales Director of Heilind Electronics Europe, comments: “As Sales Director, I am thrilled to announce the opening of our new distribution center in Hanau. This marks another significant milestone in Heilind’s positive development over the last five years. Since establishing our presence in Poland in 2019 and expanding into Central and Southeast Europe with the launch of our distribution center in Mysłowice in 2022, we have seen tremendous growth.”
“Our expansion in Germany reflects our dedication to providing unparalleled service and support to our customers” continues Stefan Barrig. “At Heilind, accessibility and proximity to key logistics hubs are paramount. With our new extensive capabilities including VAD services, our solution-oriented approach, and a global distribution network, Heilind truly connects everywhere. That is what sets us apart from the competition, and makes us a trusted partner to the electronics industry.”
