GAZELEY POZZAGLIO ED UNITI (CR), LOMBARDÍA, ITALIA

An efficient logistics platform for the storage of food products

In 2011, GSE developed a 29,000 m² logistics platform for Gazeley (now GLP), intended for Walcor, a renowned manufacturer of chocolate products. The project was executed under a turnkey model, covering all phases of development: from the administrative processing to obtain the building permit to the interior layout design, the construction of the building, and the installation of the refrigeration systems.

The warehouse was designed for the handling and storage of food products that require a controlled temperature of between 16 and 18°C, guaranteeing optimal conditions for product preservation and the efficiency of logistics operations.

One of the main objectives of the project was to maximize storage capacity. To achieve this, a highly optimized intralogistics solution was designed, capable of accommodating 12,300 pallet positions using a drive-in system and an additional 17,600 positions in conventional pallet racking, concentrating a high storage capacity within an operational area of 18,620 m².

Energy efficiency was another pillar of the project. The building incorporates a flat roof with reinforced insulation and a high-performance envelope consisting of a precast concrete plinth with a thermal break and sandwich panels on the upper part of the facades. These solutions significantly improve the thermal insulation of the warehouse, reduce the energy demand of the climate control systems, and optimize operating costs.

Thanks to this comprehensive approach, the platform combines high logistics capacity with high energy performance, responding to the specific needs of the food industry and guaranteeing an efficient and sustainable operation.
