Design is fit for kitchen warehouses
September 1st 2008 When Travis Perkins set up
its first kitchen joinery
outlet in Croydon in 2006
it turned to the Nene Group to
equip the facility. Now, two years
later, the template created by
Nene's design team has been used
to fit out 26 other kitchen joinery
warehouses throughout the South
East of England.
As Travis Perkins did not want its
kitchen joinery warehouse to look
'new' but wished to create the
impression of an established
environment, Nene suggested using
refurbished Adjustable Pallet
Racking (APR). Nene's refurbished
APR conforms to SEMA
specifications and all current Health
& Safety regulations. Not only has it
enabled the company to create the
ambiance required, it has also
provided it with cost savings of
around 20%.
To house a diverse range of
commodities such as breakfast
bars, carcasses, fascias, sinks and
taps, Nene has used a variety of
APR to produce pallet locations for
storing a wide range of heavy-duty
products. To create the optimum
warehouse environment, Nene has
also supplied mesh panels, timber
decks and other ancillary items.
Nene's design team used CAD
drawings to create the most
advantageous layout for the store,
generating profile requirements for
each product group. Using the
master profile created for the
Croydon warehouse, Nene has
been able to provide the company
with the ultimate layout and product
specification for each of its new
branches. More articles from Nene Group Plc: |
