Tailored Pallet Storage & Heavy-Duty Structural Systems for Swiss Industry
Designed for complete structural compliance with the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA) codes and European EN 15512 standards. Our factory-direct export solutions combine certified raw hot-rolled and cold-formed coil steels with maximum space utilization for pharmaceutical, precision-machining, and high-density 3PL hubs.

Localized Application Scenarios in Switzerland's High-Value Supply Chain
Swiss industrial operations prioritize operational accuracy, spatial footprint optimization, and worker safety above all. Our racking solutions are targeted directly at three core regional sectors.
Pharmaceutical & MedTech (Basel & Lake Geneva)
In the pharmaceutical cluster surrounding Basel and the MedTech hubs along Lake Geneva, warehouse systems must comply with strict Swissmedic GMP/GDP guidelines. Our hot-dip galvanized and clean-coat selective racks eliminate flaking paint, support high-frequency sanitization, and integrate seamlessly with specialized cold chain systems holding constant -20°C to -80°C temperatures.
Precision Mechanics & Watchmaking (Jura Arc)
Micro-engineering and horology facilities across the Jura Arc operate within compact, high-value floor footprints where floor space costs are at a premium. Our long-span shelving and custom cantilever systems deliver high load ratings per shelf level without deflecting, safeguarding sensitive raw alloy stock, titanium bars, and precision movement components prior to cleanroom assembly.
Cross-Border 3PL & Food Logistics (Aargau & Zurich)
Strategic logistics gateways connecting the Swiss Mittelland with Germany, France, and Italy require ultra-dense pallet storage. High land costs incentivize building upwards. Our four-way radio shuttle systems and high-bay clad-rack structures enable high-throughput turnover for Swiss retail and FMCG leaders, delivering maximum cubic density within restricted real-estate perimeters.
Emerging Intralogistics Trends Reshaping Swiss Warehousing
As Switzerland accelerates towards its Net-Zero 2050 targets and grapples with rising labor rates and industrial land scarcity, intralogistics procurement is undergoing two major structural shifts:
1. Vertical Densification & Clad-Rack Automation
Rather than expanding outward on protected agricultural land (Fruchtfolgeflächen), industrial planners are deploying high-bay systems reaching up to 40 meters. Clad-rack buildings—where the heavy-duty racking structure serves as the primary load-bearing frame for roof and wall cladding—cut civil engineering costs while increasing storage capacity per square meter by up to 65%.
2. Automated AMR & Shuttle Readiness
With average hourly warehouse wages among the highest in Europe, Swiss distribution managers are upgrading legacy selective racks to automated shuttle runs and AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) transport lanes. Our structural pallet racks feature ultra-precise rail straightness (±1.0 mm) and high torsional beam stiffness required for collision-free automated shuttle operation.
| Structural Standard / Parameter | Swiss SIA & EU Mandates (EN 15512 / SIA 261) | Factory Direct Export Engineering Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Seismic Zone Engineering | SIA 261 Zone Z1 to Z3b (Valais, Basel, Graubünden) | FEA custom modal dynamic calculations per project location |
| Steel Certification | EN 10204 3.1 Certified high-yield steel coils | Full mill chemical & tensile verification on every heat number |
| Galvanization & Hygiene | Swissmedic / Suva compliance for food & pharma cleanability | Continuous pre-galv or 70μm hot-dip + non-toxic thermoset powder |
| Safety Deflection Limits | Beam span deflection ratio ≤ 1/200 under maximal design load | Engineered to ≤ 1/250 limit to ensure AMR/Shuttle stability |
Direct Manufacturing Power Backed by 60 Years of Engineering
By bypassing multiple intermediary distribution layers, we deliver European-certified intralogistics infrastructure directly to Swiss businesses with complete engineering control and lifecycle reliability.
Certified Direct Manufacturing
12 global production facilities operating automated cold roll-forming lines, robotic welding stations, and automated electrostatic powder-coating booths. We hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and EN 1090-1 CE execution certifications, guaranteeing structural integrity across every beam and upright column shipped to Switzerland.
Rigorous SIA & Seismic Design
Switzerland possesses localized seismicity zones (notably the Upper Rhine Graben in Basel and the Rhone Valley in Valais). Our internal structural engineering team uses finite element analysis (FEA) to calculate base plate anchoring depths, diagonal brace configurations, and dynamic loads to ensure compliance with Suva safety protocols.
End-to-End Swiss Logistics & DDP Delivery
We manage all customs clearance procedures through Swiss Federal Customs (BAZG), handling EUR.1 certificates of origin, import documentation, and direct transit across Basel, Schaffhausen, or Geneva border crossings. Deliveries arrive on site with custom phased packing for easy unloading and rapid installation.
