Sustainable logistics centre for Quooker

29 June 2024

THE MANUFACTURER, inventor of the world's first boiling water tap, is building an automated logistics centre in Nieuw Reijerwaard, Netherlands.

Quooker selected Swisslog to design and implement the high-tech logistics system for the 23,000 sq m facility, which comprises a Vectura pallet stacker crane high-bay warehouse solution.

The highlight of the €20 million project is the robotic stacking and strapping technology, enabling no-touch picking and packing. It includes an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) capable of storing over 31,000 pallets, powered by Swisslog SynQ logistics software. The 30-metre tall automated pallet racking system maximises storage density and is complemented by pallet and light goods conveyor systems.

The new logistics centre, fitted with environmentally conscious features like rainwater harvesting, aligns with Quooker’s values and brings all functions together in one sustainable facility designed to operate energy neutral. The go-live for Swisslog's intelligent automation systems is planned for February 2026, positioning Quooker for continued international growth while minimising environmental impact.

Swisslog Benelux managing director Cees Luijendijk, says: “Swisslog is proud to accompany Quooker on this journey of sustainable growth. Our intelligent automation solutions will provide flexibility and efficiency, enabling Quooker to sustainably meet demand for many years to come."
