Pick Module - Apex Warehouse Systems

Things are looking up, way up, for a national health and wellness company as they expand their already sizable Midwestern distribution center to over a million square feet of optimized storage and inventory fulfillment… all with the help of the Apex team.

As part of the 350,100 sq. ft. expansion to the existing 722, 320 sq. ft. distribution center, the Apex team was charged with designing, engineering, and installing the new 5-story pick module. The Apex team’s ongoing focus on warehouse safety and our extensive experience in multi-level pick module and mezzanine construction uniquely positioned us to support this drug chain giant.
