PROMAG equipped the largest logistics centre in the Polish dairy industry
The pandemic period influenced the increase in warehouse investments. PROMAG S.A. has also recorded great customer interest in equipping warehouses with modern intralogistics solutions. One such project was the implementation of semi-automatic storage systems in the largest logistics centre in the dairy industry belonging to the MLEKOVITA group in Wysokie Mazowieckie.
The MLEKOVITA Group is the largest dairy group in Central and Eastern Europe. It is a Polish company created from scratch, which has been successfully building its position on the market for over 90 years. The MLEKOVITA brand is present in 167 countries, has 22 production plants, in which a total of over 5,000 people work. The raw material for production, i.e. milk, is supplied by as many as 15 thousand Polish farmers. Such a huge company must have adequate storage facilities in order to properly store the products which are made from the 8 million litres of milk processed daily.
The basis of the company’s success is the continuous improvement of its offer, the use of high-quality raw materials and continuous investment in new technologies and production and storage facilities. The latest investment in the storage facilities of the MLEKOVITA group is a modern logistics centre covering an area of 1.5 ha. Once again PROMAG S.A. was invited to cooperate with the leader of the dairy industry in Central and Eastern Europe. PROMAG engineers, with their extensive knowledge and experience in state-of-the-art storage technologies, designed flexible and effective solutions.
PROMAG S.A. optimised picking and storage processes in its new warehouses in Wysokie Mazowieckie using the AutoMAG Shuttle dense storage system. This proven solution is the starting point for the full automation of warehouse storage processes. Its main advantages are maximised storage space utilisation, increased work safety and reduced logistics costs.
The implemented solutions make the logistics centre of the MLEKOVITA group one of the most modern storage facilities in the dairy industry. The value of the investment amounted to over PLN 45 million and was financed entirely from the group’s own funds. The construction of this largest and most modern logistics centre in the dairy industry took just one year and the total number of pallet spaces is more than 17,000. The newly opened logistics centre includes: refrigerated warehouses, a freezing warehouse and a warehouse for technical purposes. In the implementation of the investment, apart from PROMAG S.A., the following companies were involved: UNIBEP SA (construction works) and Johnson Controls International Sp. z o.o. (refrigeration industry).
The inauguration ceremony of the facility, attended by representatives of the government, parliamentarians, local authorities, shareholders and employees of the MLEKOVITA group, took place on 24 September 2021. A letter to the attendees was addressed by the Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who congratulated the investment and thanked all those present for their important contribution to building the Polish food brand.
