Bimbo Bakeries, a state-of-the-art, fully automated distribution facility, outgrew their current operations and needed a more functional space to support their team, specifically the mechanics who needed to service their truck fleet.
The challenge for this project was to create a new office area within their facility without disrupting daily operations, all while ensuring the space would be able to serve multiple purposes in the future.
Key Challenges:
- Limited Space for Operations: The distribution center needed additional space for the office area, but there was little room for expansion within the existing layout.
- Future Flexibility: This area needs to be functional and offer flexibility if and when their needs change in the future.
- Minimizing Downtime: Any construction needed to be completed quickly and without disrupting their workflow, as the facility operates on a tight schedule.
Porta-King’s Solution: Modular Mezzanine Installation
Our modular mezzanine system was exactly what they needed to fit their limited space. This solution allowed us to create new office space above their existing ground floor without requiring any major construction or disruption to day-to-day operations.
Efficient Space Expansion:
- Using vertical space allowed Bimbo Bakeries to maximize their facility’s footprint without any extensive construction or expanding the building’s physical dimensions.
Speed of Installation:
- Because there is no extensive construction work in our installations, we were able to complete this project quickly with minimal disruption to the rest of the facility.
Future-Proof Flexibility:
- Our modular mezzanine system is adaptable, meaning that while it is an office area now, if, in the future, it needs to be converted into a break area or an in-plant office in the future, this can be done with minimal difficulties.
The Result: A Flexible, High-Quality Space with Long-Term Potential
Customer Satisfaction:
- Bimbo Bakeries and Grainger were highly satisfied with the quality of our mezzanine system. They praised our speed and ease of installation, noting that they were able to continue with their regular operations throughout the installation process.
Long-Term Value:
- This mezzanine system will add value to Bimbo Bakeries as they continue to grow and their needs change. If they need to reconfigure or expand the space, we will be able to do that easily.
By choosing Porta-King’s modular mezzanine system, Bimbo Bakeries added office space to their facility while also ensuring they had flexibility to adapt the area for different use in the future. Our durable, high-quality mezzanine provided Bimbo Bakeries with an efficient, scalable solution that will continue to meet their needs as they grow.
