The Fricke Group, which deals in agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles, and accessories, has started operations at its new Granit Parts spare parts warehouse in Tholey (Saarland).
On 12 January 2026, packages were shipped to customers from there for the first time. Up to 600 jobs are expected to be created here, with 200 already included in the initial expansion phase.
With the commissioning of the new central warehouse in Tholey, the Fricke Group is expanding its logistical capacities. At the same time, the existing logistics centre in Heeslingen, Lower Saxony, is to be relieved, and the spare parts logistics as a whole aligned with future growth.
The Fricke Group employs 4,083 people in 28 countries at 107 locations.
