Kvik is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of kitchen, bathroom, and wardrobe solutions and has an extensive warehouse with a wide range of products. The company has a large logistics flow and serves customers in several countries with fast and efficient deliveries through approximately 180 stores across 12 markets.

To meet increasing demand and improve the work environment for warehouse employees, Kvik has implemented a new warehouse solution with two Effimat 4 machines and two E/Classic machines. Before the implementation, products were stored on a regular pallet racking system with 230 locations at floor level. This meant that pickers often had to work at inconvenient heights, increasing physical strain. With the EFFIMAT solution, all picking is now consolidated into a more ergonomic station where products are presented at a height that reduces strain on employees.

“With EFFIMAT, we have freed up 220 picking locations on the regular pallet racking system”

Supply Chain Specialist, Kvik A/S

The new warehouse structure not only means a better work environment but also a more efficient operation. Picking speed has tripled, error margins have been reduced, and warehouse space has been optimized by freeing up 220 previous picking locations on the regular pallet racking system by moving them to the EFFIMAT machines. At the same time, the system has made the picking process more intuitive and safe.

The investment in the customized EFFIMAT solution supports Kvik’s continued growth and provides new opportunities to develop the business with more automated and efficient warehouse management.
