In the current context, many companies in different sectors are finding themselves with the need for safe storage spaces. Both for the raw materials they receive and for the stock of products they manufacture. Is this the case for you? Dismountable prefabricated buildings to increase your storage capacity are the fast, efficient and cost-effective solution you need.
In just a few days (the number depends on their size and characteristics) you can have your halls and
demountable tents operational in the shortest possible time. Purchased or rented. This will increase your storage capacity quickly and easily. And if necessary, you can even turn a demountable hall into a logistics centre.
Prefabricated dismountable buildings to increase your storage capacity
At VALL we are experiencing the challenges that companies face and the main reasons why more storage capacity is urgently needed. We would like these difficulties not to exist, but it is not in our hands. What we can and must do, is to feel satisfied to collaborate in helping companies to face these challenges and overcome them successfully with the rental and sale of prefabricated removable pavilions for storage.
Geopolitics, conflicts and warehousing needs
Geopolitics has always influenced international trade. But we are at a point in history where its influence is massive and globalised. And companies in different sectors are seeing how it affects their day-to-day operations. In just a few weeks we are witnessing drastic changes. Markets that close leaving stocks in the companies that supplied them with products or raw materials, as has happened with Russia and its satellite countries towards the West or with Algeria towards Spain, is a challenge. It forces the need to divert stock from one market to another. But until they are found, production must be stored adequately. In addition, another difficulty is changing transport routes to make them safer. Or to avoid ports vetoed by the EU authorities and which lengthen the route and the number of days goods have to sail. These and other problems derived from the current geopolitical situation translate into the need for companies to have more storage space.
Supply crisis and food protectionism
The supply crisis has not yet been resolved. And there is every indication that it will not be resolved in the coming months. And to make matters worse, there is a potential food crisis already in the offing. Recent events such as the spring confinement in Shanghai increase the severity of the global supply crisis. Added to this is the protectionism of some countries in food production that has led to supply shortages in some markets. Forward-thinking companies with storage capacity buy raw materials when they can or receive supplies when possible. And they are forced to store it in order to supply their production line and avoid stoppages. In these cases, prefabricated demountable halls are the key to increasing their storage capacity quickly. And cost-effectively.
Transport problems increasing the need for warehousing in industry and logistics
International transport has not yet managed to regulate itself after the massive confinements resulting from the pandemic. In addition to these new difficulties and challenges, industry and logistics are being put to the test every day and require more storage space. Strikes over rising fuel prices have already affected some countries, such as France, the UK and Spain, at different times. And they threaten to recur. In others, there are calls in the air that could affect both road and rail transport. In this context, companies and logistics centres have to manage larger stocks. And, in the case of some producers, they have to prepare themselves by storing more raw materials so that their production does not come to a halt due to a lack of raw materials.
Rising commodity prices and possible shortages increase the need for warehousing
More than a few products and raw materials have seen their prices rise. Rather, it is rare to find those that have not. And speculation in the international trade of some products aggravates the problem, as it results in higher prices. Therefore, much of the manufacturing, processing and packaging industry needs to avoid the problem by increasing its storage capacity quickly. This is mainly a question of profitability and competitiveness.
Avoid potential shortages by increasing storage capacity.
We are facing what some experts call the perfect storm that can affect shortages and productivity. And to weather it without damage, increasing the storage capacity of companies is vital. What are the main causes of potential shortages?
-
Drought, which affects food-producing countries such as Spain and Morocco, among others. This means less food production. The agri-food industry that needs foodstuffs is being forced to find new suppliers and store when they get goods, in order to avoid being paralysed. Prefabricated warehouses for the agri-food industry help to solve this challenge.
-
Speculation, a problem that limits raw materials on the market and can lead to increased stockpiling in some industries.
-
Food protectionism, as we have already pointed out earlier in this article.
-
Competition and diversion of certain raw materials to other industries. An example of this is the diversion of metals and other raw materials to the arms industry. Both because of their greater needs and because they are willing to pay more for them.
