As the world’s largest AutoStore distributor, Element Logic announces the opening of a new office in Barcelona.

After closing in 2020 with a turnover of more than 100 million euros – the best result in its then 35-year history – Element Logic presents itself in Spain as one of the leading one stop shops for automated warehouse solutions. With a track record at that time of more than 100 installed automated storage and retrieval systems, Element Logic is the most experienced AutoStore partner in Europe. 

AutoStore allows a 75% reduction of the footprint compared to a manual warehouse and, at the same time, increases picking capacity up to 10 times, preparing hundreds or thousands of orders every hour.

We see a clear growth in Europe. More and more companies are looking to automate their warehouses. We offer decades of experience and the most modern and attractive solutions in the market. We are ready to see the big growth coming.

Dag-Adler Blakseth, CEO of Element Logic

More technology to meet the challenges of logistics 4.0 

Element Logic’s solutions are specialized in businesses with high order preparation and picking activity in sectors such as e-commerce, omnichannel retail, parts and spare parts, food, logistics operators or 3PL, among others. 

Our local experts are convinced of the great potential the companies in these sectors offer in terms of applying new technologies to logistics and warehousing, and observe two trends that will increase the commitment to AutoStore- and automated warehouse solutions installed by Element Logic: 

On the one hand, the rise of e-commerce is leading to higher demands within companies to streamline their logistics to the new market reality. This is especially true for companies in the sports equipment, electronics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and fashion sectors, which have experienced peak demand where the order volume in one week was the same as in two months the previous year. To maintain a high level of customer service, this growth requires efficient and error-free logistics. 
 
The second factor is the configuration of the Spanish real estate market, with land becoming increasingly scarce and rents continuing to rise, reaching more than 7 euros per square meter per month in the best located areas. A complexity that is aggravated by the growing need for urban distribution platforms or micro fulfillment centres located within cities. 

With AutoStore, Element Logic offers the ideal solution for businesses with an intense preparation of orders in the smallest possible space, a model that has been amply validated with more than 100 implementations throughout Europe, which we now bring to the Iberian market
