Puratos maintains its growth with a new high-capacity warehouse

January 3, 2018

Mecalux will set up a new 95' high automated clad-rack warehouse for Puratos, the breads and baked goods manufacturer, in the town of Sils (Girona). Since arriving to Spain in 1962, the company has always sought out the collaboration of Mecalux when looking for the most appropriate solutions to fulfil its logistical needs.

The warehouse, consisting of three aisles with double-deep racking, will have a capacity for more than 10,000 pallets of two different sizes: 31.5" x 39" and 39" x 47". The facility will be directly linked to the production centre by means of a tunnel. The storage temperature will be controlled to guarantee the optimum condition of the goods; two aisles must be kept at 68 °F and one at 57 °F.

Within the supply, the Mecalux Easy WMS warehouse management system will be implemented. It will be permanently connected to the customer's ERP to exchange orders and information, aiming for the maximum improvement of warehouse throughput.

Puratos is an international business group with a long history in the baking, confectionery and chocolate making sector. Its central headquarters is located in Brussels and, currently, the company has a presence in more than 100 countries. Innovation is the key to its growth, which has allowed it to revolutionise its industry to provide better quality, more nutritious food.
