The Dutch timber trading company van Deuveren opted for racking systems from OHRA for the construction of its new company headquarters. In addition to the technical features, the main deciding factor was the possibility of customising the colour of the racks. The façade design of the various buildings and the interior and exterior racks form a harmonious unit thanks to repeating colours, reflecting the modernity and quality of the services provided by “Houthandel van Deuveren”.
The company is one of the leading distributors of wood products in the Overijssel region. As the previous location had reached its limits, van Deuveren decided to move to the new company headquarters in Dedemsvaart.
Due to the positive experience van Deuveren had already with racking from OHRA, the new company headquarters was also equipped with racking systems from the European market leader for cantilever racking. OHRA manufactures the rack uprights and cantilever arms from solid-walled, hot-rolled IPE steel profiles, which means that the cantilever racks remain permanently stable even when fully utilised and ensure a high level of safety for staff and customers. OHRA always manufactures the racks individually according to the customer’s requirements – at van Deuveren this applied not only in terms of dimensions and load-bearing capacity, but also in terms of colour.
The racks for the outdoor area were painted in the colour RAL 7016 “anthracite”. The window frames of the halls and the steel structure of the main building are painted in RAL 3000 “fire red”. This hue is repeated on the racks inside this part of the building. The racking is light grey (RAL 7035) in a third complex, where products are stored primarily around the roof and façade.
