Three Ways to Increase Your Facility’s Footprint

Industrial mezzanines can provide a cost-effective way to increase production space.

The availability of same- and next-day delivery (largely driven by online retailers like Amazon) has altered customer expectations regarding order fulfillment times, even within the food and beverage industry. In the past, companies would invest in larger, new facilities to meet rising consumer demands. In an era where space is at a premium, companies are resolving the footprint problem by capitalizing on unused vertical space by installing industrial mezzanines.

When a successful essential oils supplier in the Western United States found themselves struggling to keep pace with market demands, it knew that facility layout was a barrier to growth. While investigating potential solutions, the company realized that building a new facility would mean moving away from the employees and community that had made the business a success. Through a partnership with a supply chain consultant, the essential oils supplier found the answer in a new mezzanine measuring 136 x 55 ft.

“Many do not realize that mezzanines are a cost-effective way to maximize an existing building’s potential,” said Dave Milner, Vice President of Sales and Marketing a Wildeck, Inc., a mezzanine manufacturer. “With ceiling heights in excess of 30 ft, most warehouses and distribution centers can easily accommodate a single or multi-leveled mezzanine and achieve the square footage necessary for expanded operations.”
