Case Study: Piracanjuba achieves maximum storage capacity with Interlake Mecalux storage systems

Three Warehousing Systems Classify the Merchandise of Dairy Producer Bela Vista According to Turnover in Its Minas Gerais (Brazil) Distribution Centre

Piracanjuba, a Brazilian dairy company founded in 1955 in the city of the same name, needed to expand its finished-goods storage to support rising sales and a growing product range. To meet this challenge, Interlake Mecalux designed a warehouse solution for its distribution center in Minas Gerais using a mix of drive-in pallet racking, selective pallet racking, and pallet flow racks.

Interlake Mecalux implemented the three storage systems to classify inventory by turnover and improve operational efficiency: selective racks for versatile access, pallet flow racks for FIFO product rotation, and drive-in racks for high-density storage of multiple pallets per SKU. The result was a warehouse with capacity for 6,320 pallets, helping Piracanjuba organize operations more effectively and respond to customer demand faster.
