NEDCON
In early 2022, the merger between PLUS and Coop took place and PLUS Holding B.V. was established. The cooperative food retail organization, with a nationwide network of about 550 stores, has a market share of 10%. Making it the third service supermarket in the Netherlands.
In Deventer, we worked on a new, modern and sustainable distribution center for the delivery of PLUS's fresh products. This new DC will completely replace the existing fresh distribution center in Deventer. The building is 77,000 m² in size and stands on a plot of over 13 hectares, making it three times the size of the current distribution center.
For their new DC in Deventer, PLUS was looking for a solution for the storage of pallets, including a long walkway across the building suspended above the racking.

Partners
During this project we collaborated with the contractor HVBM. They were still responsible for the building during our assembly period. We also had a lot of coordination with the sprinkler supplier Kemkens because of the in-rack sprinkler that had to be used throughout the racks.
Even a great plan is just a plan....
until you make it real
A robust solution for pallet storage, including a long walkway across the building suspended above the racks.
A total storage capacity of 20,000 pallet spaces including a long walkway of 115 meters long, 2.5 meters wide and 6 meters high. For the light gray yokes, accents were added for extra strength using box sections and welded-on base plates.
A tailor-made solution for some 3,500 unique fresh products that will be loaded into trucks through 142 dock doors bound for 280 stores.
The NEDCON head office is located in Doetinchem (The Netherlands). We also have our own production facility in Pardubice (Czech Republic) and there are NEDCON offices in various European countries and the United States.
