How ALWARK transformed the manufacturing process.
Manufacturing efficiency starts with an organized warehouse. That was exactly the challenge our team solved for Metawood – a furniture manufacturer supplying premium brands such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Hugo Boss.
Metawood is no ordinary furniture manufacturer. Its products are delivered to some of the world’s leading luxury brands, where production delays and errors are simply not an option. Yet, like many manufacturing companies, the warehouse had become a bottleneck. Employees spent valuable time searching for components, storage space was used inefficiently, and information was not transferred smoothly between shifts.
To solve these challenges, we implemented an intelligent vertical storage system from the German manufacturer Hänel. The concept is simple: the operator requests the required storage tray, and the system automatically delivers it to an ergonomic picking height. No lengthy searches, no unnecessary errors, and no wasted floor space.
Our team managed the entire project from start to finish. We selected the most suitable Hänel solution, adapted it to Metawood’s manufacturing processes, carried out the complete installation, and continue to provide ongoing maintenance and technical support. The customer did not have to coordinate multiple suppliers – just one point of contact and one responsible partner.
The results have been significant. Warehouse capacity has increased dramatically, allowing considerably more inventory to be stored within the same footprint. Employees now spend less time searching for materials and more time at their workstations. Shift handovers have become more efficient because the system accurately tracks where every item is stored. The solution also freed up approximately 300 m² of warehouse space, enabling the company to make far better use of its existing facilities.
The Metawood project demonstrates how the right solution, implemented by a trusted partner, can fundamentally transform day-to-day manufacturing operations. This is what ALWARK delivers for every customer: we identify the most suitable solution, implement it professionally, and ensure it continues to perform reliably for years to come.
