Glory Global Solutions was facing a warehouse storage and handling challenge with limited space, low clear heights and insufficient capacity. The company utilized a third-party logistics provider for additional support, but recognized the opportunity for an in-house solution that would increase its customer equipment assembly, configuration, storage and shipping efficiency.

Glory Global Solutions initiated its warehouse expansion project and partnered with Husky Rack & Wire and Fairchild Equipment to design an innovative and cost-effective solution that allowed the company to transition from its current third-party logistics provider. The Husky engineering team provided multiple designs with its INVINCIBLE pallet rack product. The final design was selected that included an 8-level high, narrow aisle configuration with 4,400 pallet capacity. The project from design through implementation was completed in 16-weeks.

The Husky Rack & Wire storage and handling solution not only allowed Glory Global Solutions to quickly transition from its third-party provider, but also increased its operating efficiency and generated a 55% cost savings per pallet location versus the company’s previous warehouse configuration.

Richard Hadle, Director, Facilities Planning with Glory Global Solutions stated, "The Husky Rack & Wire storage and handling solution not only allowed our company to quickly transition from its third-party provider, but also increased our operating efficiency and generated a 55% cost savings per pallet location versus the company’s previous warehouse configuration."

Additionally, Glory Global Solutions realized other benefits across a number of operating areas including faster order-to-delivery times, less product handling and damage, and improved workforce safety. All of which will contribute to enhancing the company’s market leadership, competitiveness and customer service.
