Elesa, the Italian Parent Company
Technological innovation has always been the driving force behind Elesa’s growth — a continuous process that strengthens the company’s leadership as a manufacturing excellence in the industry. Alongside its strong production capabilities, Elesa has also invested strategically in advanced logistics to further enhance its service offering. Today, Elesa takes another step forward, by equipping its manufacturing headquarters with a second automated warehouse, designed to provide customers with an even faster, more precise and flexible service.
An investment for the future: the new automated warehouse for semi-finished products
The new automated warehouse, fully operational for a few months at the Monza headquarters, represents the beating heart of Elesa’s integrated logistics system. With considerable dimensions (9.5 metres wide, 7 metres high and 70 metres long) and an initial storage capacity of 29,000 containers — expandable to over 43,000 — the facility has been designed to meet growing demand and production peaks.
Equipped with the most advanced technologies, the system ensures optimised management of material flows, perfectly synchronised with the assembly departments. Components are picked, assembled into complete kits, and delivered directly to the workstations, supporting continuous operations and increasing production efficiency.
Automation and safety serving quality
The facility is fully automated, featuring three picking stations (expandable to four) and six dedicated sorters feeding the production lines. This advanced automation eliminates human error, guaranteeing high accuracy in inventory management and picking operations, which are carried out in ergonomic and safe workstations.
Fire protection is also a top priority: the warehouse is equipped with a smoke detection system and an automatic sprinkler fire suppression system, ensuring maximum safety for both goods and personnel.
Faster, more personalised customer service
With this new investment — which complements the automated finished goods warehouse that has been operating successfully for several years — Elesa+Ganter strengthens its ability to promptly meet delivery requirements. The optimisation of logistics processes makes it possible to fulfil orders from the subsidiaries, distributors and direct customers, ensuring punctuality.
