Careers
The growth of alinea, a well-known French furnishing and decor business, has spurred the company to build a new large-sized warehouse in Nanteuil-le-Haudouin (north of Paris). Interlake Mecalux will equip it with selective pallet racks and shelving for picking, the latter being installed on the mezzanine allotted for products sold online.
Currently, alinea runs more than 21 shops, including four franchises, spread all over France, where it sells the more than 15,000 SKUs it works with (52% are furniture and 48% home decor items).
The new warehouse, which fills an 18.04 acre area, will be divided into 10 ‘cells’ and house 81,444 pallets of 32" x 48" with a maximum unitary weight of 1,764 lb, held in 36' high pallet racks with 5 or 6 levels of storage. This system offers the potential of storing many different items and gives direct access to each one, fundamental for a company like alinea that carries a huge selection of decorative goods and furnishings. Light-duty pick shelving will also be supplied for the mezzanine floors located above the docks. Here, small-sized items will be hand-picked, for purchases off the alinea.fr online shop.
