Modula SpA
It later became a Business Unit of System Logistics S.p.A., specialising in vertical automatic warehouses designed to allow operators to pick and store items in a quick, efficient, and ergonomic manner. The division’s name immediately evoked the modularity and flexibility of the system itself.
In 2016, Modula became a joint-stock company (S.p.A.), gaining its own identity and an independent organisational structure. The company now operates various production sites, with 13 subsidiaries, over 100 dealers worldwide, and 2 acquired companies.
Since the very first Modula unit, designed by the engineer who still serves as Chairman today, the project has evolved significantly. In fact, the initial models were used internally at the facility in Fiorano Modenese, before attracting interest from the ceramic sector in which System Ceramics operated.
Thanks to its growing popularity and the clear advantages it offered — including ergonomics, product security, personal safety, space efficiency, precision, flexibility and rapid return on investment — this innovation steadily gained traction on the market, finding its way into the factories of many companies, first in Italy and later abroad.
A true turning point came in 2000, when the sales network expanded to new sectors in order to meet emerging demands. Modula has now established itself as a full fledged 4.0 factory, equipped with its own automated warehouses, and driven by a philosophy of efficiency and innovation.
