With operations in more than 25 countries and a local presence that supports healthcare systems, clinics, and end-users throughout South Africa, Össur’s logistics arm requires modern, reliable infrastructure to keep essential products moving.

Project Overview

Össur partnered with Palian to redesign its warehouse layout and maximize usable space for growing inventory. The project centered on the installation of a modular, structural supported mezzanine floor—a solution well-suited to high-density storage of boxed medical components and fast-moving inventory.

Key Project Features

• Space Efficiency: The structural supported mezzanine provided Össur with a significant increase in floor area without expanding the warehouse footprint, enabling better stock organization and streamlined order picking.
• Flexible Design: All columns, beams, and steel floor panel components were engineered and manufactured offsite, supporting quick installation with minimal on-site disruption.
• Integrated Safety: The system incorporates steel staircases, safety rails, and steel floor panels, aligning with current occupational health and safety requirements.
• Turnkey Delivery: Palian’s team managed all phases: planning, installation, and final inspection, ensuring that the mezzanine integrates with Össur’s workflow and warehouse equipment.

Business Impact

With deployment of the new mezzanine, Össur is positioned to meet future distribution needs with greater flexibility and efficiency. The solution supports accurate inventory control, allows for product expansion, and helps maintain high standards in supply continuity for critical medical devices.

Palian’s expertise in modular warehouse systems ensures that each solution is assembled to the customer’s specification while minimizing operational downtime.
