Jungheinrich has delivered warehouse solutions for Grifols

Jungheinrich's Systems and Projects Division has provided a turnkey solution for global healthcare company Grifols, completing two highly automated rack-clad warehouses at the heart of the company's new worldwide operations in Dublin.

The new facility is a cornerstone of Grifols' international growth strategy and represents a total investment of USD100 million.

The buildings, which occupy 22,000 sqm on a site measuring 11 ha, have been designed to facilitate the global distribution of plasma-derived products, supporting operations in over 67 countries by maximising the flexibility and security of supplies.

One of the new warehouses on the site is a -35°C cold store standing 21 m high, while the other is a +5°C structure that reaches 31 m at its highest point.

Both installations came under Jungheinrich's remit and were specifically designed as rack-clad structures.

Jungheinrich was responsible for the installation of the racking, insulated cladding panels, stacker cranes, conveyor systems technology and the warehouse management system - which is bespoke to meet Grifols' specific requirements.

"Throughout the design and build phases of the project, Grifols had the peace of mind of knowing that the critical elements of the new facility were all under the management of Jungheinrich's total solution offering," says Steve Richmond, Jungheinrich's Director of Systems and Projects. "We are clearly delighted to have been responsible for the successful implementation of such a prestigious and unique project."
