Increase Warehouse Capacity by 167% with the Kardex Megamat Storage System

Heyco Products is a leading U.S. manufacturer specializing in the design and production of molded wire protection products and high-quality stamped electrical components. With increasingly strict just-in-time production requirements, Heyco needed an efficient storage system to ensure speed and accuracy in handling sample orders—often the first touchpoint in the customer journey.

The Challenge

At its manufacturing plant in Toms River, New Jersey, Heyco faced major challenges managing more than 18,000 sample SKUs. The existing 20-year-old carousel system frequently broke down and no longer provided sufficient storage capacity. As a result, sample picking, inventory management, and shipping became complex, negatively impacting operational efficiency and customer experience.
