Warehouse & display room in one place<br />
A clever combination of <strong>META</strong> pallet racking and shelving<br />
Shelving<br />
Customer:<br />
The industrial supplies wholesaler<br />
Industriebedarf Niemann-Laes has<br />
been providing a wide range of<br />
products to industry and trade<br />
since 1987. Their main focus is<br />
on personal protective equipment,<br />
machinery, tools, and drive<br />
technology. Their headquarters in<br />
Lüneburg employ 25 people.<br />
But Niemann-Laes does not only<br />
collaborate with <strong>META</strong> for its<br />
own ends. As a productionrelated<br />
trader, the company also<br />
provides operating equipment<br />
and offers the complete <strong>META</strong><br />
range.<br />
Mission statement:<br />
Staff walking distances were to be made shorter and the flows of<br />
materials within the company were to be optimised.<br />
Niemann-Laes offers the entire <strong>META</strong> range. So a 'hands on' storage<br />
solution was to be found where customers could view the storage<br />
solutions directly on location and experience the quality of <strong>META</strong><br />
shelving at first hand. From the display area, customers were to be able<br />
to see into the logistics areas.<br />
Some of the plans had to be changed<br />
during the planning phase and even during<br />
the three-week long assembly phase.<br />
Philipp Mitzscherlich, general manager<br />
at Industriebedarf Niemann-Laes, was<br />
delighted to find that <strong>META</strong> reacted rapidly<br />
and flexibly to his requirements. <strong>META</strong><br />
area sales manager Christian Engel (right)<br />
remained his contact partner throughout<br />
the entire project.<br />
