Case Study: Sofinther achieves 5x storage capacity and 300+ daily orders with Interlake Mecalux warehouse solutions

Solutions for the Industrial Parts Warehouse of Sofinther

Sofinther, a French thermal technology engineering firm and subsidiary of the Rexel Group, needed to expand its distribution centre to support rapid growth, manage 13,000 SKUs, and increase storage capacity fivefold while keeping operations efficient. To meet this challenge, it worked with Interlake Mecalux on a storage and picking setup that included pallet racks, shelving for picking, cantilever racks, and a box conveyor system.

Interlake Mecalux reorganized Sofinther’s warehouse into two zones for safety and workflow efficiency, with 9.5 m-high racking for palletized goods, picking shelving for smaller items, and cantilever racks for long products, plus conveyors in the consolidation area. The result was 11,772-pallet capacity and space for 9,000 boxes, enabling Sofinther to process more than 300 orders per day and speed up order fulfilment across France.
