“Really cool” student trip to the EDEKA logistics center Straubing

“This is how it must feel in Siberia every day”, one of the TUM students stated after entering the -23 degree centigrades frozen food warehouse area at the EDEKA logistics center Straubing. 40 students of the Master’s program „Business Economics of Biogenic Resources“ visited the warehouse complex on December 5th for a very special field trip. Together with two research associates from Prof. Dr. Alexander Hübner’s Chair of Supply and Value Chain Management, they could take an insight look at a grocery retail warehouse and speak to an industry expert in the field of logistics.
