JYSK selects AR Racking for Spain DC
The new distribution centre in Almenara in Castellón will have more than 182,000 pallet positions.

THE LOGISTICS centre is located on a 274,000 sq m plot and will feature two high-bay clad-rack warehouses operated by 20 stacker cranes. AR Racking will be responsible for the design, manufacturing, and installation of a tailor-made storage solution, optimised to ensure maximum capacity, operational efficiency, and long-term reliability.
In addition to the pallet warehouses, the site will include a shuttle-based automated warehouse with more than 200,000 bin locations, integrating advanced robotic technology for order picking and the automatic handling of trays and containers.
The centre will also host JYSK’s new headquarters for Spain and Portugal, creating approximately 250 new jobs. The building will be LEED Gold certified and include solar panels to cover part of the facility’s energy demand.
The warehouse’s material flow system will be developed by technology provider KÖRBER.
The facility is expected to be fully operational by 2028.
The project is part of the Scandinavian retail giant’s ambitious expansion plan in Southern Europe and North Africa.
JYSK recently introduced a ‘dark store concept’ – smaller warehouses close to customers, including in Ireland and Morocco.
