Geoffroy Krieg – Operational Manager at VST
“Mecalux has been our business partner for many years, both as a consultant and in the development of our warehouses in successive enlargements. Plus, after visiting the Mecalux’s spectacular Barcelona showroom and other customers’ installations, the choice was obvious. Movirack is an innovative system because it means we can anticipate growth both in the medium- and long-term, giving us a huge storage capacity in a small surface area.”
