Drylock Technologies, global supplier of sustainable hygiene products, is strengthening its operational infrastructure and expanding its logistics capabilities, with the construction of a new automated high-density warehouse at its production site in Hrádek nad Nisou, Czech Republic.
This initiative marks the second major collaboration between Drylock and Körber, reinforcing a strategic partnership built on trust and focused both on innovation and sustainability.
The new distribution centre for finished goods is the result of a clockwork tailor-made design, combining high-density storage with high-performance. The compact solution minimizes the building footprint while providing additional storage capacity of more than 28,000 pallet locations.
As the solution architect, Körber is responsible for the coordination of engineering efforts and overseeing the seamless integration of structural components, automation and software systems.
For Drylock, an Ecovadis Platinum company, this project represents more than just infrastructure – it is another step towards the future of a sustainable supply chain. Aligned with this vision, the new warehouse incorporates eco-responsible materials and technologies, as it will be built using low-emission steel, and it will be equipped with state-of-the-art energy-efficient systems – all in all, reflecting the commitment to minimizing its environmental impact.
“This facility is designed to be sustainable in every sense—environmentally, operationally, and strategically,” says Ruben Benoot, Group Supply Chain Director at Drylock Technologies. “We are proud to once again partner with Körber to turn this vision into reality.”
Beyond sustainability, the new project delivers tangible operational benefits. It enables faster, more flexible inbound and outbound processes, optimizes logistics, and enhances workplace safety and ergonomics. At the same time, it strengthens reliability, ensuring every product reaches customers with the highest standards of quality, speed, and care.
“Our continued collaboration with Drylock is a reflection of our shared ambition to shape the future of supply chains through innovative and sustainable solutions, based on long-term partnerships with our customers” adds Paola Elizalde, VP Marketing & Sales EMEA at Körber Supply Chain, business area Automation.
