The Renault Italia Group has inaugurated the brand new European Distribution Center in Castel San Giovanni (PC), the spare parts warehouse that supplies the sales and assistance networks in Italy and Switzerland.
A historic investment after 50 years since the opening of the previous spare parts center in S. Colombano al Lambro (MI), consistent with the profound transformation which, with Renaulution, is also involving the after-sales business, at the heart of the strategy.
For Renault, always a brand which has man and his needs as its center of gravity, a human-centric brand, which smiles and takes care of people, being a car manufacturer does not just mean making cars that are beautiful to look at, comfortable and capable of exciting.
Our DNA, for 125 years, is taking care of people, returning Time For Quality Life to our customers, with revolutionary, cutting-edge and tailor-made services. And this also translates into improving the activity of our Network, introducing modern digital tools aimed at increasing the efficiency of warehouses and therefore logistics. The investment made in Castel S. Giovanni is proof of this. Aftersolution requires speed, modernity and efficiency, fundamental characteristics to face the current dynamic and extremely complex context.
The new logistics hub It occupies a total surface area of over 29,000 m2, has a storage height of 12 m and a capacity of up to 65,000 items, which allows for greater efficiency in processes.
The new structure has been built using the best construction techniques for logistics hubs, with materials that guarantee lower thermal transmittance, with a consequent reduction in heat dispersion and, therefore, lower consumption. Totally green, thanks to the presence of photovoltaic panels it allows 40% of the energy consumption of the entire building to be supported, which has an energy requirement equal to that of 1,100 families in a year.
Furthermore, the use of pedestrian paths protected systems and latest generation lifting trolleys reduce the possibility of human error, increasing safety.
The new logistics hub boasts, thus, the BREEAM certification (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method – method of evaluation and certification of the sustainable development of buildings) at Excellent level.
Consistent with the Time for Quality Life philosophy, particular attention was also paid to the comfort and well-being of the logistics center employees, to give them quality time during their working days. The new structure is equipped, in fact, with a latest generation air conditioning system and over 600 m2 of social spaces which include a company restaurant operating during all work shifts, large break rooms, numerous meeting rooms equipped with multimedia systems and a 500 m2 multi-purpose hall for employee breaks, also equipped with table tennis and table football.
