Facility design and layout in the material handling industry affects the productivity, profitability, and adaptability of your company for years. One of the best business decisions you can make is to engage an expert in material handling system design when planning your facility layout.

Engaging us sallows you to consider your facility layout from the perspective of your product, process flows, material handling techniques, man-machine interfaces, and plant structures. Profiling the current movement of product and projecting material flow help you design the best building and material handling system to accomplish your company’s goals.

At Jorgenson Material Handling, we create flexible warehouse, distribution center, & manufacturing facility layouts designed to use space efficiently and effectively helping you maximize your material handling system investment.

Whether the layout is for an existing or a new "greenfield" facility, our goal is to plan around the function and the process. Our design approach has consistently provided our customers with initial capital cost savings and lower operating cost over time.

Several criteria are considered before the design begins. Once the general operation, business plan, and design goals are well understood, we will work closely with you and your consultant, architect, or construction firm to define the facility requirements.

We also works closely with your team to optimize your layout design. When applicable our facility designs are modular, which enables your layout to continue to serve your needs as business conditions change and allow you to quickly adapt when additional capacity is required. Jorgenson Material Handling uses the latest 2-D & 3-D computer aided design tools to create your system layout drawings. This 3-D perspective allows us to help you make the best possible design decision.
