Container system production facilities in Lauterecken
BITO containers are constructed in our production plant in Lauterecken. Our plastic containers are among the most modern designs in the industry. They are manufactured using powerful, cutting-edge injection moulding machines. In the plant's large finishing centre, containers can then be customised according to customers’ exact needs.
Our lines of business
Based on customer needs, we focus 3 business lines:
The BITO Direct line is our B2C service path that allows customers to buy our products in our webshop, from our catalogue or to place orders by telephone. This line offers our customers a wide range of ready-to-buy stockroom and warehouse equipment and allows to place re-orders without support.
With our BITO Solutions business line, we offer consulting and support services geared to each customer’s individual requirements. Typically, this segment is geared to customers who intend to realise medium or large-scale warehousing projects. BITO's representatives visit customers’ plants in person, working together with their contacts in the company to plan and design bespoke system solutions that meet the customer's specific needs as precisely as possible.
The third line, BITO Engineering, emphasises close collaboration with system integrators and general businesses. In this segment, BITO is a reliable partner in constructing static storage systems as a basis for automated solutions. Here, BITO places particular value on long-term, intensive customer relationships which include both specialised solutions and new joint developments.
