Ter Aar, July 2025 – Amwittools International, a leading supplier of high-quality tools, has expanded its warehouse capacity with three additional Kardex Shuttles and the innovative Kardex Color Pick system. The company now operates nine Kardex Shuttles, spread across two U-shaped aisles. This expansion boosts logistical flexibility, increases processing speed, and keeps the error rate below 0.1%.
“This step demonstrates how scalable automation supports structural growth while ensuring flawless deliveries,” says Hans Zevenbergen, Sales Manager at Kardex Netherlands. “With this expansion, Amwittools is leveraging the full power of visual and digital order processing.”
Kardex Color Pick allows multiple employees to work on the same batch simultaneously without interference. Color-coded carts, bins, and displays clearly indicate what to pick, where, and when.
For even greater precision, Amwittools also uses the Wearable Task Assistant (WTA) – a hands-free device that provides step-by-step picking instructions. The result: less waiting, less cognitive effort, and extra control for critical orders.
“Thanks to this combination of Kardex technologies, we can guarantee speed while keeping error margins close to zero,” says Gerrit Roos, owner of Amwittools. “We’re working smarter and more customer-focused than ever before.”
The partnership between Kardex and Amwittools began in 2016 with the installation of two Shuttle systems. By expanding the warehouse step by step – most recently with three additional systems in 2025 – Amwittools has developed into an automated distribution center focused on efficiency, scalability, and quality.
Amwittools International is a leading Dutch supplier of high-quality tools for import, export, distribution, and manufacturing. Since the company was acquired by Gerrit Roos in 2007, Amwittools has grown into a trusted partner for the professional market, with a rapidly expanding product range and a strong focus on customer satisfaction and delivery reliability.
