Fit to store clothing

When corporate clothing supplier,
BTC Activewear, decided to relocate a
relatively small warehouse to a newly
built distribution centre at Opus 9, a
33-acre regeneration scheme at
Junction 9 on the M6, it turned to
storage and materials handling
supplier the Nene Group. Chosen by
BTC Activewear for its innovative use
of space and attention to detail, the
Nene Group has fitted out the
107,000ft2 site into a state-of-the-art
facility with storage for 10,000 pallets.

Around 5700 beams of varying
dimensions and weight have been
installed as part of the storage system,
together with anti-collapse mesh and
picking bins. Decking was installed in
the picking areas where staff collect
pick lists from the end of the aisle and
then visit each location in sequence to
retrieve the items.
