About Company

MACAR FOODS is an established Mediterranean food importer and distributor based in South Florida, supplying a wide range of specialty food products to customers throughout the United States. The company serves a diverse clientele that includes restaurants, grocery stores, wholesalers, and foodservice providers seeking authentic Mediterranean, Greek, Middle Eastern, and halal offerings. Its product range spans dry goods, refrigerated and frozen foods, dairy products, meats, and specialty imports sourced from reliable global and domestic partners. To meet strict food safety and quality standards.

Macar Foods operates temperature-controlled distribution processes and maintains organized inventory systems to support both ambient and cold-storage products.

As the business continues to grow alongside increasing demand for ethnic and specialty foods, efficient warehousing, product accessibility, and streamlined logistics have become essential components of its operations.

Project Overview

As part of its continued growth, Macar Foods made the decision to relocate its warehouse operations to a new facility in order to accommodate increased inventory volumes and improve overall operational efficiency. The existing warehouse layout no longer supported the company’s expanding product lines or the logistical demands of handling both ambient and temperature-controlled goods. The relocation project required a complete reevaluation of the storage layout to maximize available space, improve product accessibility, and create a more organized flow for receiving, storage, and order fulfillment across dry, refrigerated, and freezer areas.

Hot-Dip Galvanized Racking for Cooler and Freezer Areas

For refrigerated and freezer areas, Atlantic Rack supplied hot dip galvanized selective pallet racks specifically designed to withstand low temperatures, moisture, and frequent washdowns common in cold storage operations. The galvanized finish provides superior corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of the racking system while meeting hygiene and food safety requirements.

The racks were strategically integrated into the cooler and freezer layout to ensure efficient use of space without compromising accessibility.

Macar Foods was able to maintain organized, reliable storage for temperature-sensitive products while ensuring long-term performance in demanding operating conditions. The corrosion-resistant features minimized long-term maintenance requirements, helping Macar Foods reduce operational costs while ensuring consistent performance in cold-storage conditions.

Selective Pallet Racking in Ambient Controlled Areas

To guarantee efficient storage density and pallet handling in the new facility, Atlantic Rack provided a selective pallet racking system layout tailored to MACAR FOODS’ diverse inventory requirements. This system layout provides direct access to every pallet, allowing faster picking, simplified inventory management, and improved product rotation across ambient storage areas.

The racking layout was designed to optimize vertical space while maintaining safe aisle widths for forklift maneuverability and smooth traffic flow.

By organizing pallet locations clearly and improving accessibility, the selective racking system enhanced day-to-day warehouse operations and supported higher throughput as distribution volumes increased. This approach allowed Macar Foods to standardize pallet locations across the warehouse, reducing handling time and improving overall picking accuracy for daily outbound orders.

Racking Configuration

Atlantic Rack implemented a racking configuration to provide full selectivity for every pallet position.

The system utilizes 18 foot uprights with multiple beam levels, allowing pallets to be stored at various elevations and maximizing the use of vertical warehouse space. With 96-inch bay widths, the racking accommodates standard pallet sizes efficiently, while the 42-inch frame depth on each side provides structural stability and safe load support. Open-front selective design ensures direct access to all pallet positions, reducing handling time and simplifying inventory rotation.

This configuration supports safe forklift operation, consistent load distribution, and efficient order picking, making it an ideal solution for food distribution environments that require organized storage, reliability, and operational flexibility.

The Results

The completed warehouse relocation and racking installation provided Macar Foods with a more efficient, organized, and scalable storage environment. The new selective pallet racking systems increased overall storage capacity while improving product accessibility across dry, refrigerated, and freezer areas. Enhanced layout efficiency streamlined receiving and order fulfillment processes, reduced handling time, and supported safer forklift operations throughout the facility. Clear aisle spacing and standardized pallet locations improved workflow consistency and minimized congestion during peak operating periods.

With a flexible racking configuration designed to support changing inventory demands and future expansion, Macar Foods is now well positioned to accommodate growing product volumes while maintaining reliable, efficient distribution service for its customers.

Conclusion

The warehouse relocation and racking installation project provided Macar Foods with a well-organized and efficient storage solution tailored to its operational needs. The selective pallet racking systems delivered improved space utilization, reliable pallet accessibility, and enhanced workflow across dry, cooler, and freezer areas. Designed with durability and future growth in mind, the new layout supports safe material handling and long-term operational efficiency, allowing Macar Foods to continue meeting customer demand with confidence and consistency.
