Corporate Comms Manager Jonas Jungmann spoke to Logistics Business Features Editor, Paul Hamblin, about the company\u2019s products, plans and ethos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Let\u2019s start with new products \u2013 tell us about the new BG Pouch System with AutoDrop function. Specifically, how will it improve operations for customers, and what benefits can they expect?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BG Pouch System with AutoDrop enables fully automatic and contactless unloading of pouches. It is ideal for single-unit handling, but is also capable of combining items in any desired sequence. This improves distribution and reverse logistics across multiple fulfilment and returns operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the system can fulfil store replenishment orders to fit the store&#8217;s specific layout, increasing productivity and freeing up staff for customer service. It easily accommodates value-added services, such as placing gift cards or greeting cards in an order. It also achieves fast, automated reworking of returns, making items immediately available for resale and significantly reducing handling time and costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BG Pouch System with AutoDrop requires approximately 30% less space than conventional picking systems and can be mounted in the ceiling, saving valuable floor space. The modular design also allows the system to be scaled up quickly and easily as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"867\" src=\"https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BG-Pouch-System-1300x867.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65924\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4994561124592085;width:576px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BG-Pouch-System-1300x867.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BG-Pouch-System-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BG-Pouch-System-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BG-Pouch-System-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BG-Pouch-System-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>You\u2019re known for pallet packaging technology. What are the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beumergroup.com\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.beumergroup.com\/\">Beumer<\/a>&#8216;s Stretch Hood technology?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our patented Stretch Hood is a custom-designed, automated end-of-line solution for packing pallets economically, safely, and automatically. The technology uses cold-stretchable films, which eliminates heat exposure and air-cooling to achieve very low operating costs. It can be implemented as an integrated or stand-alone system and is suitable for diverse applications, from high-value electronics to construction materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It offers security, protection, efficiency and versatility. The seal prevents tampering and pilfering, with any attempt to undo the seal being immediately evident. The technology guards against moisture, dirt ingress, spoilage, and damage during storage and transit. Efficiency results from the repeatable accuracy and consistency enabled by automation, also minimising the scope for human error in the critical final packaging phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has the versatility to apply transparent film for visibility or opaque film for high-value goods where security is paramount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You\u2019re bringing an Innovation Corner to LogiMAT in March. What can visitors expect from this?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Innovation Corner at LogiMAT will showcase the latest advances in robotics, software, and data analytics. This space highlights how cutting-edge technology and proven products combine to deliver real value for intralogistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors can explore scalable solutions for warehouse and distribution operations, gain insights into digital transformation strategies, and engage directly with Beumer experts on future trends. The Innovation Corner reflects our broader Innovation Centre concept, which drives R&amp;D and continuous portfolio development to meet evolving industry needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Let\u2019s move on to the Customer Diagnostic Centre and its role in optimisation and predictive maintenance. What does that mean in practice? Can you give specific examples of what it does and how operators can deploy it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysing and interpreting operational data is a complex and resource-intensive task that requires serious investment, which can detract from your core business. Beumer Group\u2019s Customer Diagnostic Centre offers logistics companies access to data-driven services and expertise whenever they need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our diagnostic experts monitor and analyse your operational data, anticipate issues and act proactively, remotely or on-site, to support predictive maintenance, process optimisation, and system diagnostics. Individual services range from an emergency hotline to cybersecurity support and can be used in any combination to meet customer needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one instance, data analysis revealed that a customer had unused capacity of 40%, even though they believed they were at their operational limits. Guided by the results, the customer was able to implement efficiencies and meet continuing demand without the need for a major expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"975\" src=\"https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BEUMER-Global-Monitoring-Center-in-Dubai-1300x975.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65925\" style=\"width:591px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BEUMER-Global-Monitoring-Center-in-Dubai-1300x975.jpeg 1300w, https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BEUMER-Global-Monitoring-Center-in-Dubai-700x525.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BEUMER-Global-Monitoring-Center-in-Dubai-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BEUMER-Global-Monitoring-Center-in-Dubai-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BEUMER-Global-Monitoring-Center-in-Dubai-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>You have recently announced new manufacturing facilities in China and India. Could this negatively impact the perception of Beumer as a premium European manufacturer?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our China and India facilities have been developed to manufacture in line with Beumer\u2019s global standards, ensuring equally high levels of quality and engineering excellence. The high-tech plants are integrated into our worldwide manufacturing network and run by trained teams, delivering the craftsmanship and reliability customers expect from our brand. These sites bring us closer to regional customers, enabling faster delivery and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You describe your strategy as &#8220;value-driven.&#8221; What does this mean in practice for customers?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our four values \u2013 reliable, down-to-earth, ambitious, collaborative \u2013 guide decisions and build trust-based and long-term relationships. We never cut corners: we promise only what we can deliver, so systems perform reliably for years. We prioritise long-term partnerships over one-off deals; our customer support accompanies clients across the entire equipment lifecycle. In short, being value-driven aligns every action to create sustainable success, placing trust, superior quality, and long-term outcomes over quick wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What is BEAM and what is it for? Can you tell us about recent success stories and what they bring to the Group?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BEAM, launched in 2018, is Beumer\u2019s startup incubator and innovation engine. It systematically builds new, digital business ideas that complement our intralogistics portfolio. We partner with entrepreneurs and internal experts, providing industry know-how, funding, and a safe space to scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two startups now integrated into Beumer are Codept and Elara. Codept (founded 2019) offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/category\/it-in-logistics\/wms-scm-software\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/logisticsbusiness.com\/category\/it-in-logistics\/wms-scm-software\/\">cloud-based<\/a> logistics integration platform connecting online retailers with 3PLs, streamlining data exchange across shops and warehouse systems and drastically reducing onboarding time and IT effort. Elara (started 2020) is a cloud-based maintenance management software for centralising assets and service activities, enabling predictive maintenance to prevent downtime, optimise spare parts, and lower operating costs through transparency and data-driven insights. Both expand our digital services portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I saw an interesting quote from, Dr Christoph Beumer, the former CEO and now chair of the Advisory Board: &#8220;As a family business, we think in generations, not quarters&#8221;. What does this mean? What decisions can you point to that prove this philosophy to customers and prospects?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We judge major decisions by their decade-long impact on our customers and company. As a family-owned business, we reinvest for sustainable growth and innovation rather than maximise short-term profit. This financial prudence gives us independence to make bold, future-oriented investments, such as new factories in China and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Thinking in generations&#8217; also shapes relationships: we seek lifetime partnerships, not quick sales. Our customer support team supports every installation for its entire life (and beyond), while customer partnerships and employee development are built on trust and longevity. This approach \u2013 proven over more than 90 years \u2013 keeps Beumer a reliable, forward-looking partner in a (sometimes) uncertain world, year after year and generation after generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beumer Group is a familiar presence at LogiMAT.
