All departments now under one roof

The project, which commenced in 2021 and was completed in the summer, now boasts an impressive increased capacity with an additional 13 950 pallet places. Designed to meet the growing demands of the pet supplies industry, the warehouse provides a secure and efficient storage solution for a wide range of pet-related products. The new facility offers ­ample storage ­capacity of up to 30 000 m² under the best conditions for pet food, bedding and accessories. It has increased the company’s ­total number of pallet spaces to 33 000 and the area of Wondelgem site near Ghent to 47 132 m².

Thanks to the dedicated receiving area, the warehouse ensures seamless receipt of incoming products into one of the 30 loading bays. “The company’s experienced team is well versed in handling these items with care, ensuring that they are received, inspected and stored in optimal conditions,” states the Laroy Group.  

Located near Ghent, the warehouse is strategically positioned with excellent transport connections, enabling timely and reliable delivery to the customers across the region.  

But the Laroy Group is not done yet. The company plans to implement a new warehouse management system by the end of 2023. “Embracing innovation and forward thinking are essential for driving growth and providing exceptional service to the company’s customers,” is the message of the Belgian pet supplies company. The Laroy Group is sure that this proactive approach will reinforce its commitment to delivering “excellence in pet products”.  

Demolition of the company’s old head office building at the site of the new warehouse presented the company with the opportunity to consolidate all departments under one roof. By housing all services in a single building, the Laroy Group aimed for enhanced communication, collaboration and synergy among teams, fostering a more cohesive and integrated work environment. Furthermore, the refurbished office space provided an opportunity to design a contemporary, sustainable workspace that aligns with the company’s values.  

At the beginning of 2023, the Laroy Group completed a comprehensive renovation of the façade of the main building at the company’s headquarters. This transformation aligns the building’s exterior with the brand style of the new warehouse. It creates a cohesive, modern aesthetic and a harmonious visual identity for the headquarters, reinforcing the commitment to providing exceptional service and reflecting the company’s position as a leader in the pet product industry.

The revamped façade and the upcoming works on the car park not only enhance the appearance of the company but also represent the ongoing investment in creating a welcoming and modern environment for staff, partners and visitors.
