Ferag and Modula Announce Partnership for Efficient Intralogistics

Modula, a leading provider of automatic vertical storage systems, and Ferag, one of the market leaders in intralogistics solutions, announce their new partnership. Through this new strategic relationship, the Swiss family-owned company expands its product portfolio with highly efficient storage lift solutions, thereby strengthening its expertise as a solution design specialist.

(Hinwil/Fiorano Modenese) The partnership between Modula and Ferag marks a significant step towards holistic and efficient intralogistics. A highlight of this partnership is the introduction of the new Ferag storage lift product family “ferag.starlift”, consisting of the Standard, Slim, and Pallet models. Inspired by Modula’s innovative technology, the ferag.starlift products offer efficient and space-saving solutions for the storage and handling of goods. With modern automated technology, they enable precise and rapid inbound and outbound handling of products: the intelligent vertical design maximizes the available storage space and thus optimizes space requirements. The efficiency of intralogistics processes is enhanced through automated handling. The modular design can be adapted to various storage requirements and offers seamless integration into existing logistics processes.

Continuous Expansion of Offerings

At the time of market launch, ferag.starlift already presents a comprehensive range of hardware and software solutions. This range is continuously expanded to offer customers more complex and integrated solutions. In accordance with the quality standards of Modula and Ferag, ferag.starlift stands for durability and reliability. By performing repetitive, physically demanding tasks, this system significantly improves working conditions in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers. Given the labor shortage, companies looking to automate storage, picking, and material handling processes have the opportunity not only to increase their productivity but also to provide their employees with more valuable tasks and a more ergonomic working environment.

“The ferag.starlift product family represents the innovation and commitment of both companies to outstanding intralogistics solutions. These, in turn, are not only the foundation for our successful collaboration but also a promise to our customers for innovative solutions and long-term excellence,” says Tommaso Ramundo, Group CEO at Ferag.

According to Massimiliano Gigli, Market Operations Director at Modula, the partnership between Ferag and Modula is characterized by shared corporate values that emphasize a strong, forward-looking, and customer-oriented collaboration. “Shared values such as excellence, agility, and sustainability are reflected in every facet of our partnership. Through outstanding performance, flexibility, and commitment to sustainable solutions, we set benchmarks in the industry.”

Presentation at Trade Fairs in Spring

The ferag.starlift model “Slim” will be presented for the first time in March 2024 at Modex in Atlanta (USA) and at the LogiMAT trade fair in Stuttgart (Germany). The two trade fairs will thus be the venue for the North American and European premiere of this innovative product. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the ferag.starlift as well as other products from the portfolios of the two intralogistics key players live in action and learn more about the groundbreaking features and benefits of this new storage lift.
