CUSTOMER NEEDS

Ajinomoto turned to Cassioli for the realisation of an automatic warehouse for the storage of pallets of different types, from big bags to jerry cans for liquids of various kinds.

Cassioli was also to take care of the handling of the pallets at the inbound and outbound warehouse. The factory where the new automated plant was designed was in Pederneiras, one of the company’s four industrial plants, located in the state of São Paulo in Brazil.
