“Our objectives are continuous development and to fulfill customer expectations,” says Marta Dwulit, Logistics Manager at Savino Del Bene. The organization offers a wide range of logistics services: sea, air, rail, and road transportation; short- and long-term warehousing; and order picking, including cross-docking. It also performs value-added services, e.g., packing, labeling, and kitting. “We’re also about to open a facility for temporary storage,” says Dwulit.

The company built its new distribution center to drive business expansion and grow its customer base by providing end-to-end service. With a surface area of just under two acres, the warehouse is located just 5 mi from the Port of Gdańsk. Thus, it is strategically positioned to carry out weekly groupage services for goods from China. Dwulit says: “We’re making an effort to expand our LCL [less than container load] service from other ports around the world.”

Mecalux equipped the facility with pallet racks, a very versatile storage system that can be adapted to accommodate any type of unit load — irrespective of size — and product flow. “Thanks to these racks, we can easily control and manage our inventory levels,” says Dwulit.

Savino Del Bene’s growth is unstoppable. Regarding the new endeavor the company has been working on for the past few months, Dwulit says: “We’re continuing with our expansion project, adding on 1.3 acres to the warehouse surface area. Naturally, we chose Mecalux as the racking supplier for this project as well. At the beginning of 2023, it will outfit our new facility with racks for more than 5,000 pallets.”
