At Acme Supplies, growth has always been part of our journey. But as we prepared for the next stage, our storage capacity wasn’t keeping pace. Building a new 5,000m² warehouse gave us the opportunity to rethink how we store, scale, and succeed.

With Shelving Shop Group’s expertise, we found the perfect solution:
✔️ Maximised Storage Today: Room for 5,160 pallets using a smart, compressed racking system.
✔️ Future-Ready Design: A two-stage system ready to expand as we grow.
✔️ On-Time Delivery: Seamless coordination ensured the warehouse was operational before our busy season.

Thanks to this thoughtful approach, we’ve stepped into a future-proofed space that sets us up for continued growth and operational excellence.

A big thank you to Shelving Shop Group for their partnership in making this vision a reality!
