New logistics center at the Erfurter Kreuz: top innovation for Arnstadt!

On July 17, 2025 there was an important milestone in the Thuringian Economic Area: N3 Engine Overhaul Services, a joint venture between Lufthansa Technik and Rolls-Royce PLC, set the groundbreaking ceremony for an important new logistics center on the Erfurt Cross. This innovative project not only promises the infrastructural upgrading of the region, but also brings a breath of fresh air to the industry.

The logistics center will include an impressive three -story building complex on an area of 19,500 square meters. At the center of the new facility is a state -of -the -art, fully automatic high -bay warehouse, which can come up with a height of 26 meters and a length of around 123 meters. The integration of the latest technologies enables the goods to be automatically stored and out of store as well as warehouse processes centrally and evaluate data in real time. This will not only increase the efficiency of the processes, but also create transparent logistics solutions that are increasingly in demand in today's time.

extension and investment

As Thuringia's Minister of Economics Wolfgang Tiefensee emphasized during the celebrations, this is the largest sub -project as part of an ongoing expansion program on the factory premises. A total of around 150 million euros will be invested in the expansion, which is intended to increase the company's capacity to up to 250 engines per year. In 2023, 132 engines have already been overtaken, and for 2024 N3 strives for an increase in capacity by up to 50 %, which takes into account the growing requirements of the market.

In addition to the logistics center, the cultivation of a cleaning system for engine components is also in full swing, the process capacities of which are to be doubled. The construction of a new riegel with 6,000 m² will create additional technical processing centers and assembly areas. The work runs during ongoing operation and with increasing utilization, which is of great importance for the region and the employees there.

jobs and qualifications

The new logistics center will not only introduce new technologies and processes, but will also create jobs for the local population. Office and social rooms with changing rooms for around 560 employees and jobs for over 30 employees are planned. N3 has already launched its own qualification program for career changers and has been training specialists in six different professions since the start of operation, which in turn strengthens the regional economy.

The positive trend in the aviation industry also has an impact on the demand for logistical services. In view of increasing regulations, growing fuel costs and the increasing interest of passengers in sustainable travel options, the industry had to adapt. One of the solutions for this lies in automation and digitization.
