Drone alone: Thomann captures an internal fly-by of its German distro centre - and it's absolutely massive

Thomann is one of the world's biggest music retailers - the amazon of European music making, as many style them - but the sheer scale of the firm's distribution efforts might not be immediately evident from your box-on-doorstep perspective.

The facility is in Treppendorf, Bavaria where the company, which is still family-owned, was founded in 1954 by Hans Thomann Sr.

I hope you enjoy the site - we do.
