The project, delivered by STS Storage Systems with technical support from AR Racking, has equipped the new Thame warehouse with capacity for over 5,500 pallet positions, maximising space usage and boosting operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"290\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/ara.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/ara.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/ara-149x99.jpg 149w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by AR Racking<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Asco Foods had outgrown its previous facility, prompting not only a move but the need for a scalable solution that would maintain service levels and minimise downtime. The new distribution centre, covering over 51,000 ft\u00b2, required a strategic storage design to accommodate growing volumes and a diverse product range, many of which require temperature-controlled environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur growth meant we needed to act quickly but strategically. The storage solution implemented has enabled us to relocate seamlessly while improving inventory management and stock visibility, making the most of every cubic metre of the new warehouse,\u201d said Sunny Chadha from Asco Foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system selected was a high-rise Pallet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/material_handling\/warehouse-shelve.htm\">Racking<\/a> installation (11,500 mm) covering both ambient and<br>chilled areas. The flexibility of the design, adapted to the pallet type used (1000 x 1200 mm), was crucial to meeting tight project deadlines, with the customer eager to start operations quickly to avoid additional rental costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was completed in two phases: the first in January and finalised in May, with all timings strictly<br>adhered to. Close coordination between AR Racking and its official distributor, STS Storage Systems, ensured a smooth and efficient execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/material_handling\/22259_st3_conveyor_elevator\/\">AR Racking<\/a>, we applied our structural design expertise to tailor the system to the customer\u2019s technical and scheduling requirements. The close collaboration with STS\u2019s engineering and installation team was key to delivering a robust and scalable solution,\u201d said Gonzalo Crovetto, Project Manager at AR Racking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richard Tyrell, Project Lead at STS Storage Systems, added: \u201cThe success of this project came down to fully<br>understanding Asco Foods\u2019 challenges and translating them into a flexible, efficient, and high-quality solution. Working with AR Racking gave us the confidence to meet every commitment to the customer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new infrastructure in place, Asco Foods has strengthened its logistics capacity and is now well positioned to support its continued expansion in the UK market and beyond. A solution designed for today, with a clear vision for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ar-racking.com\/\">ar-racking.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facing the challenge of rapid growth and the need to relocate its operations, Asco Foods, a major UKimporter and wholesale supplier of South East Asian ambient and frozen foods in the UK, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":56623,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[2685,125,21,1848,2686,2684],"class_list":["post-56620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-intralogistics","tag-industrial-racking","tag-intralogistics-2","tag-material-handling","tag-pallet-racking","tag-shelving-systems","tag-storage-solutions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
