LIVE STORAGE RACKING

Casado Nordeman’s recent entry into the large-scale retail trade circuit has lead the company to significantly increase its capacity for production and storage over the last two years. With the company’s current expansion into market networks throughout Spain, it has become evident that in view of their expanding business model, the company would need to opt toward streamlining factory processes and achieve the flexibility required to adapt to this expansion. The industrial and home cleaning products and detergents manufacturer’s response has been the construction of a live storage racking warehouse that features and open-plan design with maximum height, which will allow it to optimise the services it offers clients, yet at the same time free up space for production.

With this new look in mind, the Barcelona company decided to invest in the purchase of a building dedicated exclusively to storage and logistics, which is 400m from the company’s headquarters (where the production plant and the offices are still located). A truck deals with the daily transport of the goods from the production unit to the new warehouse. This shuttle vehicle unloads the goods in a bay of the warehouse which is connected to the back part of a block of gravity-lane live storage racking measuring 28m long, 10m wide and 9.5m high, and with a capacity of more than 1,000 pallets. Once here, a reach truck places the goods on the roller tracks (nine lanes in total, each with a capacity for 23 pallets in depth and five in height).
