Havi’s Logistics logistics centre in Lodi, Italy, was opened in 2009 with a capacity for 4,566 pallets. Given the company’s continuous growth and expanding customer base –and therefore the number of products to be stored and distributed– it quickly outgrew the facility. There was thus a clear need: to multiply the useful storage space by expanding the 4,870 m2 available in the original warehouse. Havi manages the supply chain for perishable and non-perishable products for a wide range of customers: frozen goods, fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy produce and cleaning products, amongst others. This made it necessary to conserve storage and handling areas with four different temperature ranges, with a particular focus on preserving the cold chain throughout the entire process to ensure optimal safety and conservation of the food that Havi stores and distributes daily.
Mecalux’s technical team calculated the facility’s expansion and remodelling down to the tiniest detail. Since the customer’s priority was to multiply its storage capacity the Movirack mobile racks stole the show. These racks boast optimal performance at all temperatures. The immediate result was to expand from the original storage capacity of 4,566 pallets to the current capacity of 12,500 pallets, enlarging the 4,870 m2 of surface area to 10,000 m2.
As a result, since the expansion project implemented by Mecalux the Havi Logistics distribution centre in Lodi has become a model of profitability and efficiency that will enable the company to flexibly manage its continued growth.
