Constant evolution
Marvimundo, founded in 1971 in Murcia,
began focusing on the sale of plastics and
drugstore goods, and subsequently developed new products and services to expand
its market. At present, it has become one of
the most prominent Spanish companies in
the perfumery and personal hygiene sector.
The transformation of the warehouse
The company's warehouse was equipped
with pallet racking, but the storage capacity was insufficient for its logistical needs.
Increased sales forced them to reorganize the
distribution and classify the goods in terms of
turnover and consumption criterion.
Marvimundo required a system that would
increase the storage capacity and in turn offer speedy operations, similar to standard
pallet racking, to deposit consumer products (type A). To achieve this, Mecalux has
supplied a high-density block of 271’ long
racks served by the Pallet Shuttle, consisting
of five levels that are 28’ high.
The semi-automatic Pallet Shuttle system optimizes the storage capacity of the
high-density racking and minimizes operating time because operators do not enter
the aisles to handle the goods, it is the shuttle which carries out the movements autonomously.
