At Polymax, we believe that investing in our business means investing in our customers.
As part of our move to a new headquarters, we are making significant investments in our infrastructure, technology and warehouse operations. One of the latest additions is a Kardex Vertical Buffer Module (VBM), an advanced automated storage and retrieval system that will transform how we store, pick and dispatch thousands of rubber and elastomer products.
This investment is part of our ongoing commitment to improving operational performance, increasing stock availability and delivering a faster, more reliable service to customers.
Improving How We Store and Pick Products
The Kardex Vertical Buffer Module is an automated storage and retrieval solution designed to maximise warehouse efficiency.
Instead of relying solely on conventional shelving, the system uses vertical space to store products and automatically retrieves the required items, presenting them directly to the operator.
This “goods-to-person” approach reduces unnecessary movement around the warehouse and helps make picking faster, more efficient and more accurate.
What This Means For Our Customers?
Faster Order Processing
Automated retrieval will reduce the time our team spends locating and collecting products. This will help us move orders through picking, packing and dispatch more efficiently, supporting a faster and more responsive service.
Improved Order Accuracy
Automatically retrieving products, the Kardex system will reduce the amount of manual searching and handling involved in order fulfilment, helping us maintain high levels of order accuracy.
Increased Storage Capacity and Stock Availability
Making better use of our warehouse space will give us additional capacity to support our extensive product range and future stock requirements.
We know that product availability matters to our customers. This investment will help us manage our stock more effectively and provide room to expand our range as their requirements develop.
Supporting Future Growth
We supply businesses across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, engineering, automotive, food processing, medical, marine, construction, energy and maintenance.
As our customers’ needs evolve, we want to be ready to respond. Investing in our warehouse infrastructure will help us handle growing order volumes efficiently and build the capacity to support them over the long term.
Putting our Customers at the Centre of Everything We Do.
Our move to our new headquarters gives us the opportunity to improve how we work and invest in the next stage of our development.
The Kardex VBF is an important part of that wider investment. Together with our new premises and operational improvements, it will help us strengthen our stock management, streamline order fulfilment and build capacity for future growth.
Above all, we are investing to serve our customers better, today and in the years ahead.
