Hessing BV

Hessing BV

Hesssing decided to move in 2005 and It didn’t take them very long to find a new building. In the meantime the province of Utrecht was advised on Hessing’s moving plans and offered the new building along the A2. Originally the building was meant to house offices but on the basis of the architecture it was also fit for a showroom. Hessing’s new office indisputably belongs to the most outstanding buildings in the Netherlands and seems to be fully integrated in the futuristically designed noise barrier.

At A Glance:

Constructor tailor-made some of the racking for the warehouse where the sides become closer and closer until they touch. In order to be able to realise the same storage capacity on less square meters, the choice was made for two levels.

The width of the corridors could remain the same, but the height between the shelves was extensively reduced in order to be able to use the storage volume as efficient as possible. Big spare parts like splashboards and exhaust pipes are, for as far as they are, stocked horizontally. This needed some space but this doesn’t cause a problem at the moment as the quantity in stock is limited. Bentley is an enormous brand and orders are placed on a daily basis instead of on a weekly basis. As a result the stock for huge ‘not easy to store parts’ can be reduced
