Case Study: Breville Canada boosts supply chain performance with Dematic

New DC helps transform Breville’s supply chain performance

Breville Canada, an Australian home appliance manufacturer, faced significant supply chain challenges due to its outdated warehouses and a shift away from block-stacking after altering its packaging. They needed a new distribution centre to improve capacity, safety, productivity, and logistics control. To address this, they partnered with vendor Dematic for the design and implementation of a new high-density storage system.

Dematic implemented a custom ColbyRACK double deep pallet storage system within a new, purpose-built facility. The solution prioritized safety with specialized guard rails and was designed for space-efficiency, increasing pallet storage capacity by over 30%. The results were transformative: Breville achieved vastly improved supply chain velocity, a 17% reduction in lighting energy costs, higher staff morale, and significant operational savings, all while enhancing safety and customer service levels.
