At Ambrovit, the future is already here, thanks to the company’s latest investments in quality, logistics and service. All distinctive features that differentiate Ambrovit from its competitors in Italy and Europe – with the investment including the doubling of its automated warehouse.

Founded in 1997 by the initiative of two entrepreneurs from the fastener industry, Ambrovit SpA has become a leader in fastening systems and the ideal partner for both industry and distribution. The recent doubling of the warehouse enables the company to further raise the bar of efficiency in the supply chain, as well as in the management of large volumes of products – whilst also reducing waiting times and consequently improving the operational efficiency of its customers.

Today, Ambrovit’s automated warehouses in Garlasco occupy a total area of 24,000m² and boast numbers that speak for themselves. The new warehouse is 104 meters long, 40 meters wide, and 28 meters high, and is interconnected to the existing warehouse thanks to a 26 meter long connecting bridge, which guarantees maximum integration in the handling of products. 

“Thanks to the investment in the new automated warehouse, and the doubling of our storage capabilities, we are able to focus on new markets and new segments in the world of fasteners,” emphasises Mattia Sozzè, quality manager at Ambrovit. 

Through this investment, Ambrovit has been able to significantly grow its storage capacity, with an increase that, including automatic warehouses, as well as operational and logistics units, is close to 100,000 pallet places – guaranteeing prompt delivery in 24/48 hours. “As a business we currently ship approximately 2,500 tonnes every month, whilst being able to increasingly meet customer needs,” highlights Mattia. 

The logistics centre is a fully automated facility, managed by 16 stacker cranes for the storage and monitoring of palletised products. This results in picking activities, and operational flows, also increasing to new levels. “Ambrovit is a young company that pays great attention to future projects, in particular technological evolution,” continues Mattia. “Thanks to the original foresight of the business to include logistics in a fully automated environment, we have been able to continue on this path of efficiency and improvement of automation processes, and the new warehouse is another significant step forward.”

Mattia continues: “Quickly-achieved, operational excellence goals, which will push the company towards a path of renewed visibility, will be revealed in the coming months.”
