Rack-clad automated warehouses at the heart of new healthcare facility

The buildings, which occupy 22,000m² on a site measuring 11 hectares, have been designed to facilitate the global distribution of plasma-derived products supporting operations in over 67 countries by maximising the flexibility and security of supplies 

One of the new warehouses on the site is a -35°C cold store standing 21m high; the other is a 5°C structure that reaches 31m at its highest point.

Both installations came under Jungheinrich’s remit and were specifically designed as rack clad structures. 

Jungheinrich was responsible for the installation of the racking, insulated cladding panels, stacker cranes, conveyor systems technology and the warehouse management system – which is bespoke to meet Grifols’ specific requirements.
