EK Expands Warehouse Capacity with New Automated Storage System

EK has completed the installation of a new automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) at its main distribution center, increasing total warehouse capacity by 60% and reducing average order processing time from 48 hours to 24 hours. The new system features 12,000 storage positions, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for internal transport, and a warehouse management system (WMS) that integrates directly with EK's ERP platform. Real-time inventory visibility allows customers to check stock availability and expected delivery dates through their account portals. The expansion supports EK's growing order volume from overseas markets, particularly in North America and Western Europe, where demand for certified mobile accessories has grown 35% year-over-year. The company plans to add a second distribution center in Eastern Europe by mid-2026 to further reduce delivery times to EU customers.
