  •  AR Racking has installed an adjustable pallet racking system at the Waitrose warehouse extension in Milton Keynes, for whom it has worked on previous occasions.
  • Waitrose now has extra storage capacity for 13,604 UK pallets thanks to AR Racking's industrial racking.

 

The renowned supermarket chain brand Waitrose & Partners has increased its storage capacity with the extension of its facilities in Magna Park (Milton Keynes, UK) to consolidate its position as a leader in its sector in the British market. To do so, it has relied on AR Racking, a European benchmark in storage systems.

The new extension consists of an intralogistics solution with AR Racking’s adjustable pallet racking that achieved an added storage capacity for 13,604 UK pallets. It is a storage system that will provide the warehouse with great agility in loading and unloading operations

We knew that AR Racking would meet their promises on this strategic extension", explains Lawrence Ireson, Project Manager of the John Lewis Partnership.

"This is a project that is tailored to the client's needs and characteristics. The racks have a paint finish in Waitrose's corporate green colour," says Mike Smyth, UK Key Account Manager at AR Racking.
