Listen to this article

In May 2025, TGW North America, headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, turns 20 years old. Its founding in 2005 marked the beginning of a success story that now spans two decades. Sustainable development steps, satisfied customers, and successfully implemented showcase projects make TGW North America a strong warehouse automation partner that aspires to continue its growth together with its customers.

This location means representation in the important U.S. and Canada markets and the ability to operate closely with the customer, a central criterion when TGW North America was founded. TGW Logistics currently employs 300 specialists at its North America unit who plan and implement powerful and future-proof intralogistics systems.

Moreover, local Lifetime Services teams ensure that the highly automated fulfillment centers continue to run reliably and provide optimal performance. In 2022, TGW North America received the “West Michigan Best and Brightest” award as an exemplary employer.

Market with great potential

“The demand for automated solutions remains high in North America, and businesses are looking for a trusted warehouse automation company that can provide holistic systems and services that fit their unique needs,” emphasizes Christian Lahnsteiner, Chief Executive Officer, TGW North America.

“We are proud of the over ten-year-long relationships we have with GAP and Fastenal, the warehouse of the future we implemented and support for fashion and lifestyle specialist URBN – one of our largest solutions globally – and the partnerships we continue to build with well-known brands.”

Renowned customers

An increasing number of companies are trusting TGW North America’s competence and experience. These customers range from medium-sized companies to industry leaders active internationally, including the fashion giants GAP and Victoria’s Secret & Co., alongside other major companies like Fastenal, Jasco, and TVH.
