Company brief
Unitechnik Group is a German family-owned automation and intralogistics systems integrator founded in 1971 and headquartered in Wiehl, approximately 40 kilometres east of Cologne, with a second major site in Eisenhüttenstadt near Berlin. The group employs more than 300 people across its four business divisions: Logistics Systems, Metallurgy, Precast Concrete Technology, and Switchgear Construction. Unitechnik Systems GmbH in Wiehl focuses on software development and system integration for automated warehouses, while Unitechnik Automatisierungs GmbH in Eisenhüttenstadt specialises in metallurgical production automation. In the Middle East, Unitechnik operates through its Dubai-based service and sales partner DIMOS FZCO, which supports projects in the air cargo, airline catering, distribution, and production sectors including deep-freeze facilities.
Within the airport and aviation sector, Unitechnik has delivered automated intralogistics systems for airline catering operations and air cargo logistics. A flagship reference is the Emirates Flight Catering facility in Dubai, described as the largest flight kitchen in the world with a capacity of 115,000 meals per day, for which Unitechnik designed and implemented the control and instrumentation technology for the electric monorail system, miniload automated small-parts storage, and container conveyor technology. This represents a direct operational footprint at Dubai International Airport (DXB) infrastructure.
Unitechnik's proprietary warehouse management system, UniWare, provides a central platform for orchestrating material flow across complex automated facilities. The group's technologies include pallet high-bay warehouses with stacker cranes, shuttle-based small-parts warehouses, autonomous mobile robots (AMR), automated guided vehicles (AGV), AutoStore systems, and goods-to-person picking solutions. The company promotes a manufacturer-independent approach to system integration, selecting best-in-class components from multiple vendors.
