Dynamic Storage and Retrieval Systems Division<br />

KRM:<br />

PRESENCE IN DISTRIBUTION<br />

AND SERVICE OPENS UP<br />

OPPORTUNITIES WORLDWIDE.<br />

Dr. Silvio Anesini<br />

CEO<br />

The Dynamic Storage and Retrieval Systems Division<br />

(KRM) focuses primarily on the production, global<br />

distribution, installation and maintenance of dynamic<br />

storage, retrieval and distribution solutions. These<br />

logistics are marketed under the <strong>Kardex</strong>, Remstar and<br />

Megamat (KRM) brands and are used predominantly<br />

in industrial, wholesale and administrative environments.<br />

The systems are developed and manufactured<br />

at three Group-owned facilities in Bellheim (Pfalz,<br />

Germany), Neuburg (Bavaria, Germany) and in<br />

Westbrook (Maine, USA). The division is managed<br />

by Dr. Silvio Anesini.<br />

One of the main reasons for the success of the Dynamic<br />

Storage and Retrieval Systems Division is its local<br />

presence worldwide. The <strong>Kardex</strong>, Remstar and Megamat<br />

brands have representatives in four of the world’s five<br />

continents, but KRM finds it more sensible to divide the<br />

global market up into regions rather than to consider them<br />

in geographical terms. Traditionally, KRM has classified<br />

five market regions according to size: central and eastern<br />

Europe; northern Europe; southern Europe; North,<br />
