With its modern high bay warehousing systems made of high-quality steel profiles, voestalpine is one of the world’s leading providers of sophisticated warehouse solutions. The steel and technology group has now received its largest order to date in high bay warehousing systems, with a total volume of around EUR 41 million. A modern logistics hub for sporting goods is being built for a leading Turkish logistics service provider in Istanbul. Completion is scheduled for April 2027.

The order includes the construction of a high bay warehouse and an automated small parts warehouse (“miniload”). With a height of almost 40 meters, a length of 222 meters and a width of 86 meters, it is one of the largest and most efficient storage solutions in the region around the Istanbul metropolis.

We have been experiencing strong demand worldwide for our high-quality storage system solutions for years. This record order once again demonstrates our technological expertise and innovative strength.

Numerous prestigious projects and expansion of production in the USA

The major order in Türkiye is only one of voestalpine’s flagship projects in the field of storage systems. In the Netherlands, two 45-meter-high high-bay warehouses were recently completed for the distribution center of furniture retailer JYSK.

Another prestigious project is currently being implemented for a retail company in the UK. The new facility—a fully automated pallet racking system—reaches a height of 30 meters and comprises thousands of storage locations for palletized and small goods. One technological highlight is the integration of a so-called mezzanine construction, which has enabled the customer to significantly reduce the amount of steel and materials required while maintaining structural stability.

The successful implementation of these international projects goes hand in hand with the targeted further development of global activities in the area of storage systems. In the 2024/25 business year, a specially designed production site was built in Kentucky, USA, to meet the growing demand in the United States. This location will be expanded with additional systems in the current business year.
