German storage technology company Hänel entered the Egyptian market through an exclusive partnership with local agent Mechatronics Egypt to introduce automated warehousing solutions, Dailynewsegypt reported.
The launch introduces automated vertical storage technology designed for manufacturers, healthcare providers, and other institutions to optimize storage capacity, improve operational efficiency, and reduce costs. Demand is growing in Egypt for technologies supporting industrial automation, digital transformation, and efficient factory space usage.
- Hänel’s systems use automated vertical storage technology to retrieve equipment, spare parts, medical records, and administrative archives while reducing reliance on conventional shelving and wide aisles.
- According to the company, these systems can save more than 75% of floor space traditionally allocated to storage, though actual savings vary by facility and application.
- The partnership will provide local technical support and maintenance services following installation.
Beat Bussmann, Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa and Sales and Export Director at Hänel, said that the firm identifies rising commercial and investment prospects in Egypt, intending to introduce advanced solutions locally that are already utilized by prominent industrial and commercial entities across the globe. International organizations using the systems include NASA, BMW, Lufthansa, and Coca-Cola, the company stated.
Mechatronics Egypt established a specialized team of Egyptian engineers to deliver technical support, consultancy, and regular maintenance following installation, said Ahmed Abdel Nasser, Technical Director at Mechatronics Egypt.
“The systems are designed to help businesses address inefficient warehouse space utilisation and maximise the capacity of their existing facilities,” said Fawzy Abdel Ghany, Sales Manager at Mechatronics Egypt, adding that the technology can reduce employee time spent locating and retrieving items.

Industries such as manufacturing, automotive, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and logistics are the focus of these offerings, with a particular emphasis on enterprises that handle substantial stocks of components, spare parts, equipment, and documents. Businesses face increasing pressure to improve productivity, contain operating costs, and modernize industrial operations.
Companies can utilize automated storage systems to increase their storage volume inside current buildings, which can eliminate the necessity for new warehouses or structural expansions.
