- COMPATTA
- Rolls of fabric
In premium textiles, yarn storage must match the value of the product it protects
Candiani Denim is one of the leading textile manufacturers worldwide for high-quality denim production. At its Robecchetto con Induno facility, yarn spools require high-density storage, precise organization by type and selective access without disruptive handling, conditions that traditional racking cannot guarantee when volumes grow and SKUs multiply.
Candiani Denim chose the COMPATTA mobile racking system with pallet racking to store its entire yarn spool stock in a structured space, with direct access to every position by opening only the aisle required.

Candiani Denim: premium textiles in Robecchetto con Induno, near Milan
Based in Robecchetto con Induno, near Milan, Candiani Denim is a benchmark textile manufacturer specializing in high-quality yarns and finished fabrics. Its yarn warehouse supports production by storing the spools required for weaving, making it a critical intralogistics area where storage density, location accuracy and fast material access directly affect production continuity.
The logistical challenges
Managing a high volume of yarn spools in a textile warehouse creates specific challenges that traditional static racking struggles to solve at the same time.
The main challenges were:
- density: 17,760 spools require compact storage that makes maximum use of the available floor space without multiplying fixed aisles
- selective access: in a warehouse with many yarn references, reaching the correct pallet without moving others is essential for fast, orderly picking
- operational order: spools stored without a structured logic slow down picking and replenishment operations
COMPATTA with pallet racking: 17,760 spools on 4 levels, with the aisle opening only where needed
The COMPATTA mobile racking system installed in Candiani Denim’s finished fabric area consists of mobile bases that eliminate permanent fixed aisles: a single working aisle opens only at the required position, increasing storage density compared with static racking.
The pallet racking extends across 4 loading levels up to 6 m high, providing 1,480 pallet locations and storing 17,760 yarn spools, 12 per pallet, within 1,500 m².
Each pallet can be accessed selectively, without moving adjacent pallets.
