technologies. For instance, the “digital colleague” is by
now becoming more and more commonplace here, for example
as a driverless transport system.
The region is home to several SMEs that had started out here
and have since grown to become ex tremely successful on a
national or even international scale. The Geis Group from Bad
Neustadt, for instance, broke the threshold of 10,000 employees
after taking over the Austrian Quehenberger Group. This is a
special testimony to the potential of the service pro viders in the
region.

has opened a state-of-the-art, automated European distribution
centre in Kitzingen, SKF has automated its warehouse logistics
and s. Oliver is currently investing heavily in a new, highly automated
central warehouse in Dettelbach and thus in the future of
the fashion company that is so important for the region.
