Fulfillment right outside Hamburg—not “nationwide from somewhere”
Since 2015, Subke GmbH has been providing fulfillment services for online retailers from three warehouses totaling 18,000 m² in size, located about 42 km south of Hamburg, directly off the highway. This allows retailers to benefit from the proximity to the Port of Hamburg and northern German shipping hubs—without the high real estate costs typical of downtown areas.
- Subke is actually located in that region (Adendorf & Kirchgellersen near Lüneburg), not 500 km away.
- Short distances to the Port of Hamburg → Ocean freight containers are delivered directly to the warehouse and unloaded.
- Direct access to the highway → fast delivery and pickup by freight carriers and express delivery services.

Why choose a fulfillment center just outside Hamburg rather than right in the heart of Hamburg?
You’ll have access to the same logistics infrastructure (port, highway, airport) at significantly lower warehouse rental rates. As a retailer, this can have a positive impact on your overall fulfillment costs.
The trucks don’t get stuck in long downtown traffic jams and can drive directly from the free port onto the highway.
We unload the trucks upon notification during regular standing hours.
Your goods will be stored safely and dry. You’ll have access to scalable storage space with pallet racks offering up to 5,000 storage locations.

About Subke as a Fulfillment Service Provider

Other retailers from the region soon joined him, needing warehouse space and assistance with order fulfillment. Today, we have over 40 employees and 3 warehouses. The number of customers has grown to over 400, including our customers for returns. We now work with advanced software from JTL WMS, conveyor belts, digital storage locations, handheld devices, and our own returns portal.
