3.7 million well-invested euros
In 2007, Greiner Packaging Ltd. set up a challenging building project erecting a unique high-bay warehouse. The money invested in the building stretching over 2,300 sq.m. and 22 metres high, amounts to 3.7 million euros (2.5 million pounds). The new high-bay warehouse is the core and enables Greiner Packaging Ltd. to make its logistical processes even more flexible and cost-efficient.

High responsibility for the environment
In addition to an impressive improvement in logistics, the large investment brings further benefits. Jarek Zasadzinski, the managing director, explains: “Our new high-bay warehouse replaces four smaller warehouses saving much transport, and CO2 emissions are largely reduced. In doing so, we contribute enormously to climate protection”. Greiner Packaging Ltd. is giving high priority to environmental commitment, which is also underscored by the energy concept of the new building; the warehouse is heated by the waste heat of the production equipment, thus saving energy costs.
