Let's explore why this matters more than you might think.
The P90 Legacy: Building on a Foundation of Innovation
When Demetrius Comino invented the "slotted angle" back in 1947, he probably didn't envision automated warehouses stretching 40 metres high or shuttle systems racing through narrow aisles at breakneck speed. But that's exactly what his modular thinking made possible.
The P90 system isn't just another racking profile – it's the evolution of that original "build it your way" philosophy. Whether you're running a simple pallet operation or managing a fully automated high-bay facility, the P90 adapts to your needs, not the other way around.
That flexibility shows up everywhere:
- Standard pallet racking that grows with your business
- High-bay warehouses reaching for the sky
- Shuttle systems for ultra-dense storage
- Mobile MOVO systems that double your space
- Drive-in configurations for maximum density
- Narrow aisle setups for space-constrained sites
- Vertical storage lifts like GonvaLift
The Backbone That Actually Matters
Here's the thing about bracing profiles: they're the unsung heroes of your racking system. While everyone focuses on load capacities and beam specifications, it's the bracing that determines whether your entire installation stays rock-solid during daily operations.
Our new Laubach production line produces closed, galvanised steel profiles that represent a significant step up from traditional open profiles. Here's why that matters in real-world operations:
They Actually Stay Put Closed profiles resist torsional forces like nothing else. When a forklift takes a corner a bit too fast or loads shift during transport, your racking stays exactly where it should be.
Your Team Stays Safe Smooth surfaces without sharp edges mean fewer cuts and scrapes during installation and maintenance. It's a small detail that makes a big difference to the people working around your racking every day.
Impacts Don't Bankrupt You When (not if) a forklift bumps into your racking, closed profiles absorb and distribute impact forces better than open alternatives. Less damage means lower maintenance costs and fewer operational disruptions.
Hygiene Actually Works The closed design prevents dust and dirt accumulation, making these profiles ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and other sensitive environments where HACCP compliance isn't optional.
What This Means for Your Operation
The new production facility represents more than manufacturing capacity; it's vertical integration that translates to real benefits for your business:
Consistency You Can Count On Every profile comes off the line with laser-welded precision, cut to exact specifications, punched with millimetre accuracy, and automatically labelled. No variation, no surprises.
Speed That Actually Matters From steel coil to finished profile in a continuous, automated process. That means shorter lead times and more predictable project schedules.
Quality That Lasts Galvanised protection throughout, not just on the surface. Your investment stays protected against corrosion for decades, not years.
Why P90 Makes Business Sense
If you're evaluating racking systems, here's what the P90 platform offers that others don't:
Future-Proof Flexibility Your needs will change. The P90 system changes with them. Existing installations can be easily reconfigured, extended, or upgraded without starting from scratch.
Standardised Simplicity One component family across multiple applications means simplified maintenance, easier staff training, and reduced spare parts inventory.
Sustainable Investment Quality components that last decades, combined with modular flexibility, mean your P90 investment pays dividends long after installation.
The Bigger Picture
This new production line in Laubach isn't just about making more bracing profiles. It's about supporting the warehouse operations that keep supply chains moving, businesses growing, and economies functioning.
Whether you're expanding an existing facility, building a new distribution centre, or upgrading ageing infrastructure, the backbone of your operation matters more than you might think.
The P90 system, now backed by state-of-the-art production capabilities, ensures that backbone is stronger, smarter, and more adaptable than ever.
