Seven Warehouses Into One High-Density Hub
Mevotech
Pushback Racking
Cold Storage
Mevotech is a leading Canadian aftermarket auto parts manufacturer specializing in driveline, steering, and suspension components. With over 80,000 SKUs and a target of 100 new items monthly, Mevotech supports global distribution from its Ontario-based facilities.
The Challenge
Rapid growth and SKU proliferation had spread inventory across seven warehouses in the GTA. This created operational inefficiencies and mounting pressure to reduce touchpoints and improve space utilization. Mevotech needed to consolidate into a centralized facility with a flexible, high-density storage system, within a tight installation timeline.
The Solution
In 2017, Mevotech acquired two adjacent facilities near Toronto Pearson Airport—one for raw materials and the other for finished goods. 3D Storage Solutions, working in conjunction with 3D Storage Systems, was selected to design and execute a multi-rack solution that included selective racking, pushback, pallet flow, and VNA storage. The system was designed collaboratively, with real-time inventory slotting and phased implementation to allow seamless transfer of goods from legacy facilities.
