Varner, Sweden: New and efficient distribution center
Varner is one of Scandinavia’s leading textile companies, with close to 11,000 employees. Their 1,500 stores are represented in eight countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Poland, Germany and Austria. Varner has invested in an automated high-bay warehouse for improved efficiency and sustainable future growth.
A future-proof and state-of-the-art solution
The facility in Vänersborg is both a central warehouse and a competence center that brings together the Group‘s personnel within logistics and supply chain management.
The entire facility is built to be able to be expanded in a cost-effective manner.
Flexible, cost efficient and green
Varner‘s new distribution center is a complete solution that handles today‘s demands for omni-channel; in other words, supply chain operations on the customer‘s terms, whether they buy in the store or online. Therefore, there is a specific area of the new central warehouse dedicated to the growing e-commerce business, which for the most part, is fully automated.
Internally we have had the goal to build ‘the worlds best warehouse’ in order to challenge ourselves during the project and after. During the work, I have noticed that the actual process and the cooperation has worked extremely well. We have obtained a flexible, costeffective, ergonomic and green solution.
