When MEKO consolidates its Norwegian logistics operations under one roof in Vestby, it is a direct response to a growing customer base, increasing demands for availability – and the need to make warehouse operations more sustainable and cost-efficient. The solution, designed and implemented in close collaboration with Element Logic, will be the most advanced automated warehouse facility Element Logic has delivered in Norway.
A Strategic Leap Towards the Future of Warehousing
MEKO is one of the leading Nordic companies within car parts, workshop equipment, and vehicle accessories. Until now, its logistics flows in Norway have been scattered and largely manual – with heavy reliance on the central warehouse in Strängnäs, Sweden. The new warehouse in Vestby, south of Oslo, represents a strategic investment in local presence, a wider assortment, increased capacity, and a future-proof approach to warehousing.
"We saw an opportunity to consolidate all our logistics flows in one location – while building efficiency and scalability into every aspect. From day one, we identified automation as a key component." says Tor Erik Myrvold, Logistics Manager for MEKO Norway.
AutoStore At the Center – and Much More
The heart of the warehouse is an AutoStore system from Element Logic, with 110,000 bins, 60 R5 robots, and 34 ports. The transaction capacity is impressive: up to 1,660 bin presentations per hour. But what really sets this facility apart is the complete solution.
"With this solution, MEKO has got a warehouse capable of handling significantly more orders, faster than before. We have simulated various flows and capacities to ensure the system meets both today’s needs and future growth. High transaction capacity means products reach customers faster – which is becoming increasingly important in an industry with high demands for speed and precision" says Niklas Poulsen, Account Manager Lead at Element Logic Norway.
