According to statistics from the North American Window & Door Manufacturers Association, approximately 27% of rework in door and window manufacturing arises from bumps, deformation, or contamination during raw material storage. To avoid this, instead of using simple open storage, we have invested in heavy-duty, two-tier cantilever racking systems.
The heavy-duty cantilever racks in red and blue seen in the photos are our core solution for long-profile materials. By storing long items vertically, we prevent bending and warping caused by gravity. Wide and clear aisles throughout the warehouse ensure efficient movement of forklifts and staff.
All aluminum profiles undergo strict inspection before entering the warehouse. Nowadays, we manage classification by series and specifications through digital partitioning. This systematic material handling not only reduces material waste rates but also allows us to prepare accurately when fulfilling North American orders, ensuring reliable delivery schedules.
