Returning from the 2-week vacation all of us were shocked that how many changes happened on NIVELCO’s appearance. The interior works in the new hall did not interfere with the production processes so the construction work and the manufacturing could went on smoothly in parallel.

The most important fact about the new warehouse is the shelving and storage rack system reaching up to 8 m interior height. This way the surface of the storage shelves increased from 110 m² to...
