Warehouse racking and automation installation · The Nordics and all of Europe
About us
A family installation company. From Berlin to Norway.
We have been installing racking for three decades – first in a family company in Berlin, since 2019 as WDW. Today we focus on what the market needs most: fully automated warehouses.
1990s
The start in Berlin
Rafał’s father-in-law founds a racking-installation company. Within a few years it grows to more than 150 people.
2017
Amazon LIL1 near Lille
Pick towers for Polypal. At peak 75 people by day and 70 by night, 260 people over the whole site. Rafał organised the site from the first day to the last.
2018–2019
First large sites in Norway
Swisslog automated warehouses for Europris in Moss and for Malorama in Kløfta near Oslo, from July 2018 to spring 2019.
2019
WDW is founded
Rafał Paweł Taras founds the company together with his wife, to focus on warehouse automation. We start with 18 people.
2020–2021
The pandemic and STOW
In the middle of the pandemic, several key projects for the STOW group. Then, among others, two pick towers in Goleniów.
2022–2023

High-bay racking for Unil near Oslo, in the frozen and ambient parts, through the whole winter. On schedule and without an accident.

Today
Kaizen and ISO
A permanent team – and on large sites, experienced installers we have worked with for years come back to us. We keep looking for faster and safer ways to install. We are implementing ISO 9001 and ISO 45001.
Projects before 2019 were carried out by our team in the family company, not by WDW.
Our fleet
We drive to site in our own vans
Eight branded WDW vans take crews and tools to sites all over Europe.
On longer sites the van with the tools stays with the crew the whole time, and we bring installers in for their shifts by car.
For distant sites we fly the installers in. Tools and equipment come by van, and the crew arrives rested, without hours of driving.
Got a project? Send the drawings – we’ll prepare a quote.
Projects of 20,000 to 60,000 man-hours are everyday work for us. Attach drawings, a bill of materials or installation instructions.
