Our customer
Johann A. Meyer GmbH can look back on more than 100 years of company history and, with just under 70 employees, is an experienced and high-performance partner for hygiene, cleaning and care products, cleaning machines and catering items. The company is based in Wildau near Berlin and is a supplier to hospitals, administrations, large companies as well as craft businesses and cleaning service providers in and around Berlin and Saxony, but also throughout Germany.
Initial situation and customer requirements
- The company needed a warehouse solution to handle their broad product portfolio efficiently and in compliance with all safety regulations.
- The turnover rate of the products varies greatly, which means that storage and picking facilities had to be designed accordingly.
