Racking Aids Warehouse Expansion

PFERD-Rüggeberg S.A., a leading brand in grinding tool solutions for treating surfaces and cutting materials, has extended its logistics warehouse in Júndiz, Álava, Spain entrusting in the industrial storage specialist AR Racking for the advice, design and installation of the warehouse extension.

PFERD’s ongoing commitment to quality and improvement processes have led to the recent extension of one of its 8 production centres worldwide. Located in Júndiz (Álava), AR Racking has installed an adjustable pallet racking system in the 2,500 m2 warehouse. PFERD’s priority was that this extension would provide it optimum stock control and agile warehouse operations. Adjustable pallet racking (or selective racking) is a very versatile system and also allows immediate access to all the unit loads. This installation has provided PFERD with a capacity for almost 3,200 pallets which took AR Racking just 2 weeks to complete. Watch the video here.
