With a catalogue of over 12,000 products for the agricultural and hardware industries, Fratelli Ceni is a reference point in the field of marketing rubber and plastic items. With over 30 years of experience, the company stands out for its excellent customer service, offering fast next-day shipping for all orders placed by 4:30 pm.
The CEO of Fratelli Ceni, Giuseppe Ceni, emphasises the importance of these shipping times: “Guaranteeing these times would have been unthinkable with the previous warehouse. We had to find an alternative storage solution that would allow us to process orders more quickly. Modula convinced us right from the start.”

The company replaced the manual shelving units in their warehouse with five Modula Lift ML75D modules. “We initially believed we would only use them for the small parts or the materials with low unit volumes,” Giuseppe Ceni continues. “However, after examining the organisation of the Modula unit’s trays, we realised that we could also store higher volume materials. This prompted us to review the picking frequency of the individual items.”
Currently, one operator handles 33% of the picking using the Modula system, with significantly reduced picking times compared to the conventional shelving system. “On my Modula system,” Giuseppe Ceni concludes, “there are just 4 or 5 centimetres between one tray and the next. This represents the future of my company. When compared to the old warehouse, where we still have around 7,000 pallet spaces and larger storage spaces, the difference is clear.”
Fratelli Ceni continues to innovate and improve its logistics processes, reaffirming its commitment to efficiency and customer satisfaction.
