In the logistics and warehousing sector, choosing a racking system is a strategic decision. Companies are looking for solutions that not only guarantee safety and space optimisation, but also long-term durability and adaptability. Mecalux is one of the leading brands in this field. It has been present on the market for several decades, and has established itself as a key player thanks to the quality of its products and its constant sense of innovation.
In this article, we take a look back at the history of Mecalux, its values, its pallet racking solutions and the many benefits it brings to businesses.
A history of growth and innovation
Mecalux was founded in Spain at the end of the 1960s. From the outset, the company has specialised in the manufacture of metal storage systems, with a clear ambition: to offer robust, efficient solutions tailored to the specific needs of each customer.
Thanks to a policy of investment in research and development, Mecalux rapidly gained ground on the European and then the global market. Today, the brand is present in over 70 countries and has several production centres and state-of-the-art test laboratories.
This international development is a good illustration of the Mecalux spirit: combining a local vision, close to customers’ needs, with global industrial capacity.
Mecalux pallet racking: the benchmark solution
Pallet racking is one of Mecalux’s flagship products. This type of installation is at the heart of modern warehouses, as it enables large quantities of pallets to be stored while guaranteeing direct and rapid access to each pallet.
Mecalux shelving systems are characterised by :
- Proven sturdiness: made from high-quality steel, the shelving units offer great strength and optimum durability.
- Total flexibility: the structures are modular, so the configuration can be adapted to the dimensions and constraints of each warehouse.
- Enhanced safety: Mecalux pays particular attention to safety standards. The racks are designed to reduce risks and support heavy loads in demanding environments.
- Optimisation of space: from small warehouses to logistics centres covering several thousand square metres, Mecalux solutions maximise storage capacity.
A complete range of complementary solutions
In addition to conventional pallet racking, Mecalux offers a wide variety of systems to meet all logistics requirements:
- Dynamic shelving: ideal for FIFO (First In, First Out) flows, with significant productivity gains.
- Drive-in and drive-through: ideal for storing large quantities of homogeneous pallets.
- Automated systems: combining racking and robotic technologies for faster, more accurate management.
- Accumulation shelving: to optimise floor space and reduce traffic aisles.
This diversity of solutions makes Mecalux a partner capable of offering a tailor-made solution, whether you are an SME or a large multinational.
