Reducing costs through reuse
GARO has recently expanded its Swedish operations by moving from three sites to a single new facility in Hillerstorp. The new facility includes both production and storage.
Reuse of accessories
BLS has delivered pallet racks to the new warehouse with a total capacity to store 3500 pallets. The majority of the warehouse equipment was purchased new from BLS but to reduce costs, much of the existing accessories were used in the racking. This means that GARO was able to reuse their mesh planes and extension units in the new warehouse solution.
