Read the testimony!

For split-case order preparation equipment, at the time and still today, there were very few suppliers familiar with the book distribution trade. SAVOYE was already well-established in the sector and could therefore offer a full range of conveyors, packing machines, dynamic storage equipment and WMS software programs
