STAMH GROUP DELIVERS NEARLY 100 000 SEISMIC PALLET POSITIONS FOR STUDENAC MARKET AND ATLANTIC GRUPA
By Q1 2026, STAMH Group successfully completed the development of nearly 100 000 seismic pallet positions across key logistics hubs in Croatia for Studenac Market and Atlantic Grupa, reinforcing the country’s retail and FMCG logistics infrastructure and setting a new benchmark for warehouse safety, capacity, and performance in the region;
The projects, delivered in strategic locations near Zagreb and Split, involved the design, supply, and installation of seismic‑certified Conventional Racking Systems , advanced Safety Protections, and space‑optimized Storage Systems tailored to temperature‑controlled retail and FMCG distribution;
STRATEGIC LOCATIONS SUPPORTING CROATIA’S LOGISTICS BACKBONE
Croatia’s logistics network relies heavily on the Zagreb–Split corridor, connecting the country’s primary inland economic center with its main Adriatic distribution gateway. STAMH Group’s installations were executed in two of the most critical nodes along this axis:
- Vukovina (Greater Zagreb area) - serving as a central distribution hub for continental Croatia;
- Dugopolje (Split hinterland) - supporting Dalmatian and coastal distribution, including island supply chains;
By strengthening warehouse capacity at these locations, STAMH Group directly supported faster, safer, and more resilient retail supply flows across the country.
STUDENAC MARKET - TEMPERATURE‑VONTROLLED LOGISTICS AT SCALE
For Studenac Market, one of Croatia’s leading retail chains, STAMH Group delivered Seismic Conventional Racking Systems in two high‑performance distribution centers:
- Studenac Market Dugopolje – 20 578 pallet positions with Conventional Seismic Racking Systems;
- Studenac Market Vukovina – 31 967 pallet positions with Conventional Seismic Racking System;
These warehouses play a central role in servicing Studenac’s nationwide retail network, where temperature control and product integrity are critical;
INTELLIGENT ZONIFICATION FOR RETAIL DISTRIBUTION
Both facilities are organized into clearly defined temperature and product zones, including frozen goods, meat and charcuterie storage and processing, fresh vegetables, and dairy products;
This intelligent zonification enables precise temperature management, optimized picking routes, and reliable daily replenishment of stores. The Racking Systems installed by STAMH Group provide the structural foundation necessary to support these operational requirements while maintaining direct access to every pallet;
SEISMIC RACKING SYSTEMS: SAFETY AS A DESIGN PRINCIPLE
All systems delivered by STAMH Group for Studenac and Atlantic Grupa are seismic‑certified, reflecting growing safety and regulatory expectations across Eastern and Southeastern Europe.
Seismic design ensures:
- Structural stability under horizontal loads;
- Secure anchoring of uprights and frames;
- Reduced deformation risk for high‑bay pallet storage;
The choice of Conventional Pallet Racking offered maximum flexibility for mixed SKUs, temperature‑controlled operations, and high‑throughput retail logistics.
COMPREHENSIVE WAREHOUSE SAFETY AND PROTECTION SOLUTIONS
Across all installations, STAMH Group implemented a dual protection strategy combining:
- Solid metal protections for racking uprights and structural elements, guarding against forklift impacts;
- Flexible, energy‑absorbing barriers and delimiters to protect columns, corners, doors, traffic paths, and operational zones;
This approach enhances both operator safety and long‑term system durability, supporting uninterrupted warehouse operations;
ATLANTIC GRUPA: VERTICAL OPTIMIZATION AND FIRE SAFETY EXCELLENCE
For Atlantic Grupa’s warehouse in the Split region, STAMH Group delivered 9,557 pallet positions using a Seismic Conventional Racking System designed to maximize vertical and functional space;
MEZZANINE MOUNTED RACKING SYSTEM
A key feature of the installation is a Conventional Racking System mounted on a Mezzanine floor, enabling:
- Full utilization of available cubic volume;
- Productive use of the space beneath the mezzanine;
- Flexible separation of storage and operational activities;
ADVANCED FIRE PROTECTION AND PICKING EFFICIENCY
To enhance fire safety, the system incorporates sprinkler installations on each racking level, ensuring direct protection for stored pallets. Additionally, a Carton Flow System at ground level enables efficient FIFO manual picking, seamlessly integrating reserve pallet storage with order fulfillment operations;
A BENCHMARK ACHIEVEMENT BY Q1 2026!
The completion of nearly 100 000 pallet positions by Q1 2026 marks a significant milestone for STAMH Group and highlights several key industry trends:
- Continued reliance on engineered Conventional Racking Systems for retail and FMCG logistics;
- Rising importance of seismic safety, fire protection, and impact prevention;
- Demand for storage solutions that support temperature‑controlled, high‑throughput distribution;
More than a capacity achievement, this development represents a strategic investment in Croatia’s logistics ecosystem - supporting reliable product delivery, operational safety, and long‑term infrastructure resilience;
