AR Racking will build the storage systems for JYSK’s new distribution centre in the state, with more than 182,000 pallet positions
AR Racking has been selected as the storage system supplier for JYSK’s new distribution centre in Almenara (Castellón), consolidating its position as an international leader in industrial storage solutions. The project is part of the Scandinavian retail giant’s ambitious expansion plan in Southern Europe and North Africa.
The new logistics centre, located on a 274,000 m² plot, will have two high-bay self-supporting warehouses with capacity for 182,500 pallet positions, managed by 20 stacker cranes. AR Racking will be responsible for the design, manufacture and installation of a customised storage solution, optimised to ensure maximum capacity, operational efficiency and long-term reliability.
In addition to the pallet warehouses, the centre will include an automatic shuttle warehouse with more than 200,000 positions for boxes, integrating advanced robotic technology for order preparation and automatic handling of trays and containers.
The centre, which will also house JYSK’s new headquarters for Spain and Portugal, will create approximately 250 new jobs and will be a benchmark in sustainability. The building will be LEED Gold certified, including the installation of solar panels that will cover part of the complex’s energy demand.
The warehouse’s material flow system will be developed by technology provider KÖRBER, which will be responsible for integrating an automated system that ensures a synchronised and traceable flow of products throughout the logistics process.
‘This project reinforces our experience in large automated logistics centres and consolidates AR Racking as a strategic partner in storage solutions for leading international companies,’ said AR Racking’s sales management.
The facility will be fully operational in 2028 and will be key to supporting JYSK’s growth in markets such as Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Until then, JYSK will continue to operate from its leased logistics centre in Cheste (Valencia).
