Tapping into the Indian market, mastering complexity:
Ready for the next growth market?
India is one of the world’s most dynamic growth markets – yet international companies in particular face numerous hurdles when entering the market. Fragmented warehousing and transport structures, stringent regulatory requirements and a lack of transparency can quickly lead to delays, additional costs and dissatisfied customers. Without a strong local network, the supply chain becomes a risk factor rather than a driver of growth.
With FIEGE India and our joint venture with Apollo Supply Chain, we make your start easier: we offer access to over 45 locations, 350,000 m² of warehouse space and a nationwide transport network. Industry expertise in automotive, chemicals & pharmaceuticals, e-commerce and other sectors, combined with state-of-the-art digital systems, ensures efficient, secure and scalable logistics solutions – tailor-made for your market strategy in India.

- Consistent service levels and short lead times thanks to just-in-time (JIT) supply to production lines

- Inventory and warehouse optimisation through type-specific storage and optimal use of space via lean management and WMS-driven data analysis

With our nationwide network in India, we reach customers across the country and provide reliable warehousing, fulfilment and distribution for B2B, B2C and D2C. Our material-flow-optimised sites, integrated OMS and WMS systems, and value-added services ensure efficient stock management, seamless order processing and fast delivery to retailers, marketplaces, end customers and businesses.
- Kitting: Combines several individual items into sets tailored for sales, production or specific customer requirements. This reduces complexity in downstream processes, speeds up order fulfilment and increases flexibility for promotions, customer requirements or assembly-related deliveries.
- Individual Packaging: Enables bespoke packaging solutions tailored to the product, sales channel and brand identity. This enhances presentation, protects goods in transit, supports specific retail requirements and creates a consistent customer experience.

This shortens processing times, reduces stock losses, increases transparency in the returns process and improves both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Entering the Indian market:
A stumbling block or a success story?

Challenges typical of the market
The benefits you gain with FIEGE India
In-house logistics requires significant investment in infrastructure, IT and staff – and often offers little scope for scaling up.
With over 45 sites, 350,000 m² of warehouse space and a nationwide transport network, we are able to ensure streamlined processes and cost control.
Without a nationwide network, access to new regions remains difficult – and the potential for growth remains untapped.
Direct purchasing option within the content experience (‘shoppable content’), higher conversion rates thanks to reduced barriers to purchase and an emotional appeal.
Specific requirements (e.g. just-in-time (JIT) in the automotive sector or temperature-controlled pharmaceutical logistics) often cannot be met internally.
Whether in the automotive, pharmaceutical or e-commerce sectors: with bespoke solutions and in-depth industry expertise, we turn your supply chain into a driver of growth.
Unreliable supply chains undermine service levels and customer satisfaction – there is a risk of customers leaving.
From ISO certifications to sustainability standards – we safeguard supply chains against risks and comply with regulatory requirements.
