Careers
The solid business relationship between Armazém Mateus and Mecalux continues to benefit both companies. Mecalux is now setting up racks in the customer’s São Luís warehouse for 32,600 pallets, after installing selective pallet rack to store more than 90,000 pallets in its Davinópolis distribution center.
If something works well, leave it well enough alone. Armazém Mateus made a move with that very thought in mind, once again relying on Mecalux to equip its warehouse in São Luís (497 miles from the center of Davinópolis, Brazil).
The new 32,600-pallet warehouse will consist of 292' long, 48' high racks. The eight storage levels on the racks will house 39" x 48" pallets, each with a maximum unit weight of 1.38 t.
Previously, Interlake Mecalux had installed 36' high, 292' long single-depth selective pallet rack with a capacity for more than 90,000 pallets in one of the largest distribution centers of Armazém Mateus.
Gabriel Alves de Sousa, Purchasing Manager of the Engineering and Architecture Division at Armazém Mateus, remarks that “Procuring selective pallet racking from Interlake Mecalux helps us organize and separate our items better, as well as speed up order picking. We are perfectly happy to keep expanding our warehouses with solutions provided by Interlake Mecalux.”
