Goya, a leading distributor of Latin American food products in Europe, has expanded its warehouse in Casarrubios del Monte (Toledo province) with Mecalux’s semi-automated Pallet Shuttle. The storage system has boosted the company’s logistics performance, ensuring fast replenishment to 4,000 points of sale throughout Spain.
“Mecalux’s semi-automated Pallet Shuttle gives us the flexibility we need to manage over 2,200 items and run a more efficient operation,” says a Goya representative.
The project features five racking blocks measuring 26' high, with a capacity of around 3,000 pallets containing Goya canned goods, beans, sweets, beverages, and snacks. Storage lanes with depths of up to 33 pallets maximize density and optimize available space. Inside the lanes, a motorized shuttle moves autonomously to accelerate inbound and outbound flows, cut handling times, and minimize operational errors.
With this new infrastructure, the Goya Foods subsidiary has reinforced its growth strategy in the European market. The upgrade ensures quick, reliable service across the company’s retail network.
