Bocholt, July 2026
Schmatzepuffer is systematically developing its manufacturing facility at the Bocholt site. Personalization, production, warehouse organization, and shipping are being more closely integrated into a professional logistics environment at Im Egeling 21.
The manufacturing facility remains a self-contained core area of Schmatzepuffer. Personal design, product development, and the careful processing of individual customer data are not outsourced, but are more closely linked organizationally with the subsequent work steps.
Schmatzepuffer strengthens manufacturing and logistics in Bocholt
Personalized products place special demands on operational processes. Unlike unchangeable merchandise, individual information must be recorded, assigned to the correct product, technically prepared, implemented, and then checked.
With the stronger spatial and organizational connection between manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping, Schmatzepuffer is responding to these special requirements. The integration is intended to prevent personalization from being treated as an isolated intermediate step. Instead, it is organized as a central component of the entire order process.
A strategic decision and not just a relocation
The integration of the manufacturing facility is more than a spatial change. It is part of Schmatzepuffer's strategic reorientation. The company is focusing more on personalized baby and children's products as well as on its own developments and manufacturing services.
Personalization only works reliably if product, customer data, material, machine, quality control, and shipping are coordinated. If these areas are organized separately, additional routes, handovers, and potential sources of error arise.
At the Bocholt site, these interfaces are to be simplified. The distances between the warehouse, order preparation, personalization area, and shipping will be shorter. At the same time, there will be enough space to incorporate new processes, materials, and product groups into the manufacturing facility.
What does the integration of manufacturing and logistics mean?
The term integration does not mean that personalization becomes a fully automated standard process. Rather, it describes the closer connection of all work steps that are necessary before and after the actual finishing process.
Order data is uniquely assigned
Names, birth dates, baptism dates, colors, and other information must be clearly assigned to the correct product and order. Structured processes reduce the number of unnecessary handovers.
Products are specifically provided
The item to be personalized is removed from the warehouse and supplied to the intended processing area. Variants, colors, and product sizes must exactly match the order.
Processing methods are clearly separated
Depending on the product, laser processing, printing, plotting, assembly, 3D printing, or other finishing steps may be required. Orders are assigned to the appropriate work area.
Quality control becomes part of the process
After processing, the product, design, and order assignment are checked. The inspection takes place before final packaging and handover to shipping.
Shipping is directly connected
After completion, personalized and supplementary order items can be combined, packaged, and prepared for shipping or an agreed pickup.
The Schmatzepuffer Manufactory remains independent
The integration into a professional logistics environment does not mean the abandonment of its own manufacturing facility. Product development, personalization concepts, design, customer communication, and operational responsibility for Schmatzepuffer remain with the company.
The manufacturing facility is to be strengthened through better framework conditions. This particularly affects available space, material flows, order assignment, warehouse connection, and the possibility of setting up additional production processes in a controlled manner.
In the future, a transparent distinction will continue to be made between selected brand products that are personalized by Schmatzepuffer and products from the Schmatzepuffer manufactory, for which the company takes on additional development, processing, or manufacturing steps.
Classification of the logistics location at Im Egeling 21
The site at Im Egeling 21 in Bocholt has administration, warehouse, and logistics areas. Nobby Pet Shop GmbH is also located at the same address.
Nobby describes itself as a manufacturer and trading company for pet supplies with over 30 years of experience. The company thus has many years of experience with a wide range of products and professional goods and logistics processes.
For Schmatzepuffer, the professional logistics environment is particularly relevant. The spatial proximity creates the conditions for short distances, orderly material flows, and an environment in which storage, picking, and shipping have a high organizational priority.
What should improve for customers?
The organizational development is not an end in itself. It should help to process personalized orders clearly and controllably, even with changing demand.
- Clearer assignment of products and individual personalization details
- Shorter internal routes between warehousing, processing, inspection, and shipping
- Better predictability during seasonally high demand
- Additional capacities for new personalized products
- Clearer separation of different processing and production methods
- Structured consolidation of multi-part orders
- Improved conditions for quality control and documentation
Personalized products still require processing time. Integration therefore does not mean that every individual item can be shipped immediately. Rather, it is intended to ensure that the available processing time is used in a more predictable and transparent manner.
From customer order to shipping
The exact process varies depending on the product. A personalized order can generally go through the following stages:
Order and data acquisition
Customers select the product, the desired variant, and the available personalization details.
Order review and assignment
The order is assigned to the appropriate product, storage location, and processing method.
Provision of the item
The correct product and the ordered variant are removed from the warehouse and prepared for personalization.
Technical preparation
Depending on the process, print, laser, plot, or other production data are created and assigned to the order.
Personalization or manufacturing
The product is designed with names, birth dates, baptism dates, motifs, or other selected details.
Inspection and consolidation
The result is checked and, for multi-part orders, combined with the other items.
Packaging and shipping
The complete order is packaged and prepared for shipping or confirmed pickup in Bocholt.
Basis for additional capacities and new products
Schmatzepuffer aims to gradually expand its own manufacturing facility with additional products, materials, and personalization methods. This requires not only machines but also suitable storage areas, secure work areas, and clear handovers between individual process steps.
The integration into the logistics environment creates the basis for implementing new product ideas not merely as individual projects. They should be reproducible, controllable, and, if demand is sufficient, also processable in larger quantities.
Laser processing
Names, dates, motifs, and texts can be transferred to suitable materials by laser processing, depending on the product.
Printing and individual design
Different printing processes are used for selected products. Material, surface, motif, and intended use are decisive.
3D printing and in-house developments
3D printing enables supplementary components, in-house product ideas, and smaller series. Development, production, and testing are organized product-specifically.
Assembly and compilation
Products with multiple components can be assembled, supplemented, and checked as a complete order within clearly defined work areas.
New products are not only evaluated on whether they are technically feasible. Material suitability, safe use, traceable production steps, and whether personalization creates real added value for customers are equally important.
