Automated pallet handling at TZMO Deutschland optimizes work processes

PALOMAT® was a turning point for TZMO Germany

TZMO Deutschland GmbH is one of the largest European manufacturers and suppliers of medical care and hygiene products, for the global market. An efficient production, top modern internal logistics, and an ergonomic working environment for the employees, ensure the company's competitiveness at the location. Here, 200 to 300 pallets are handled daily.

A PALOMAT® distributor from Germany supplied the storage systems for the logistics center. During a visit to the site regarding additional process optimization, the idea of automated pallet handling with a PALOMAT® came into play.


”During a tour in the production facility, we saw many stacks of pallets. I noticed that the employees were manually lifting the pallets from the stacks, which involved physically demanding lifting movements".

Reported the distributor

TZMO Deutschland quickly experienced the positive impact that the PALOMAT® had on the working environment. Within a short period of time, the next PALOMAT® was ordered.

"We were very impressed with the PALOMAT® and subsequently ordered more"

Says Mr. Fiegler, the Logistics Manager at TZMO Deutschland.


By now, there are four PALOMAT® Greenline pallet magazines, with three of them located in the production area and one in the warehouse.

More space and a better workflow

With the immense daily manual pallet handling, the PALOMAT® has contributed to optimizing the entire work process in both the warehouse and production areas.

”Previously, we had several small pallet stacks in the warehouse and production area, which took up a lot of space. Since we had the PALOMAT®, there is a central location where all empty pallets are stored or retrieved. The PALOMAT® has helped us bring more order to our halls."

Says Mr. Fiegler.

In addition to the optimized workflow, the PALOMAT® solution has freed up time and labor for other tasks.

”Often, two people were required to lift a pallet onto a pallet stack, or the forklift driver was busy consolidating 3-4 smaller stacks into a larger stack. Now we no longer have this problem, and my employees can focus on productive tasks."

Mr. Fiegler furthermore explains.
