With the groundbreaking on May 14, 2026, the REWE Group officially started the construction of its new recycling sorting center in Wiener Neudorf. This project is the first step in the comprehensive construction initiative ALPHA, which is being realized with an investment volume of 600 million EUR. The aim is to secure the future viability of local supply in Austria and strengthen the location of Wiener Neudorf.
Modernization of logistics in Austria
By 2030, the ALPHA logistics center is to be developed into one of the most modern retail logistics platforms in Europe. The REWE Group plans to ensure an efficient and sustainable food supply for its retail companies BILLA, BIPA, and ADEG on existing sites. The construction will take place on already sealed REWE industrial areas, minimizing environmental impact and optimizing land use.
The new logistics center will encompass a usable area of 135,600 m², of which 69,500 m² is built-up area. Additionally, 12,500 m² are designated for photovoltaic systems, which are expected to generate approximately 2.8 GWh of energy annually. The total gross floor area amounts to 144,000 m², while 44,000 m² are planned as green and retention areas.
Economic impulses for the region
With the construction of the logistics center, the REWE Group clearly commits to the region and plans to create new jobs. Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer, Federal Minister for Economy, Energy, and Tourism, as well as Marlene Zeidler-Beck, Member of the Lower Austrian Parliament, were present and expressed their satisfaction with the progress of the project.
The investment in the ALPHA logistics center represents a significant step for the REWE Group to enhance the efficiency of food supply in Austria while simultaneously promoting the economic stability of the region.
