As sustainability becomes a business imperative, logistics is no longer just about getting goods from point A to B it’s about doing so efficiently, intelligently, and responsibly. At deSter x nupik, we’ve turned this principle into action by investing in a fully automated, energy-efficient warehouse, designed to optimise our supply chain while reducing our environmental footprint.
This article takes you behind the scenes of our state-of-the-art facility, where automation meets sustainability, and where products begin their journey to retailers across Europe and beyond.
Why Automation Matters in Modern Logistics
In today’s fast-paced retail environment, demand forecasting, speed, and flexibility are critical. Our automated logistics centre was built to address precisely those needs. Benefits include:
- Real-time inventory management
- Zero human error in stock picking
- 24/7 operations with reduced manual labour
- Up to 30% energy savings compared to conventional warehousing
For our retail and HoReCa partners, this translates into faster delivery, better product availability, and shorter lead times.
Retail-Ready and Sustainably Built
At deSter x nupik, we’ve engineered our automated logistics system to meet the evolving needs of modern retail, especially cash & carry, vending, and HoReCa supply chains, while staying true to our environmental responsibility.
Our warehouse is fully equipped to manage high volumes of our most in-demand product categories, including:
- Vending y cold drinkware – standard-size cups used across hospitality, vending machines and takeaway
- Retail drinkware formats – such as half-pint and single-serve sizes commonly used in the UK and Ireland
- Reusable drinkware – aligned with the EU’s shift toward circular economy and waste reduction
- Catering and event glasses – ideal for serving wine, spirits or samples at scale
- Compostable cutlery – wooden forks, paper spoons and other plant-based alternatives for food-to-go
And beyond product handling, our logistics hub is built with sustainability at its core:
- Operated using electric internal transport systems
- Packaging and stacking optimised to reduce void space and transport emissions
We also track carbon emissions in real time and carry out regular audits across our logistics network to ensure full compliance with EU sustainability directives — delivering not only efficiency, but also measurable impact.
Inventory That Matches Demand
Thanks to AI-powered demand forecasting and predictive stock control, we’re able to:
- Prioritise high-demand items
- Restock fast-moving sizes
- Maintain stock continuity
This allows our webshop and B2B clients to keep shelves stocked and promotions running, even in periods of high demand.
Local Sourcing, Global Reach
Our warehouse is based in Europe, near key logistics corridors that allow us to:
- Reduce emissions from long-haul shipping
- Deliver faster across the EU and UK
- Offer regional fulfilment for large retail chains
Because we manufacture many products locally, including our paper cups y vasos de plástico, we further reduce our transport footprint.
Designed for Retail Efficiency
The automated system isn’t just a back-end tool, it allows us to deliver retail-ready pallets y display kits with minimal manual handling. This supports:
- Easy in-store placement
- Fewer damaged goods
