Ferag Belgium

Zalando, Europe’s leading online store for fashion and lifestyle products, operates two Deniway conveyors for disposing of used cardboard boxes at its logistics centre in Brieselang near Berlin. The conveyors have an overall length of 410 metres. Each one gets by with a 1.6-kW motor and serves three or four processing lines respectively. Here, returned parcels are opened, products are re-warehoused and used cardboard boxes are thrown onto the conveyor.

An Easychain conveyor is ensuring greater process flexibility and productivity at large-scale Italian confectioner Forno Bonomi in Roverè Veronese in the mountains around Verona. With ten and eleven lines respectively, it is of record size. A chain length of almost three kilometres makes this the biggest-ever 3D plate chain conveyor system from Swiss company Ferag AG. Its several stages form a smoothly functioning bridge between first and second packaging.

Ferag's Denisort tilt-tray sorter sorts shoes and other fashion products on a 205-meter-long circular conveyor at the MyBox Logistics distribution center in Kielce, Poland, the Marketing Investment Group's main distribution center. The compact and flexible sorting system serves over 400 stores in Europe and all e-commerce orders.

Ferag AG has installed highly flexible Skyfall conveyor technology at the new distribution centre of the Mayoral Group in Malaga, Spain. Here the Swiss are implementing the largest and most powerful Skyfall system yet for goods distribution, with a mix of hanging pouches and garment hangers totalling more than 58,000 Skyfall hangers and a throughput of up to 12,000 units per hour. Also part of the deal are newly developed stations for fully automatic unloading of pouches filled with flat goods.

Crocs werd opgericht in 2002. Sindsdien heeft de schoenenfabrikant een constante groei doorgemaakt, waarbij de felle plastic klompen in kleuren als lichtgroen, turkoois of geel al snel een cultstatus kregen. Het bedrijf heeft nu meer dan 4000 werknemers en hun aantal neemt voortdurend toe.

Sinds haar oprichting in 2008 groeide Zalando uit tot één van de marktleiders in de europese e-commerce markt. Mede door het Corona effect stegen de verkoopcijfers in 2020 met nog eens 27%. Dit leidde tot nieuwe investeringen in hun sorteercapaciteit voor online orders.
