Why is Storage Important?

 The answer to the question of why storage is important can be easily understood when the need to protect and store products safely in the logistics sector is considered.  The importance of storage is not only in the protection and storage of products,  but also in order to prevent companies and individuals from paying high fees to warehouses that will not be suitable for the product despite their storage needs, and to get the right service with the most appropriate type of storage for the products and goods in their hands.

For example, while cold storage service is provided for products that may deteriorate in the heat, it is a kind of person that will not be damaged in the open air; for products such as scrap, metal, recycling waste, open storage service is preferred. When storage types are examined in general, they  can be classified as  cold storage, open storage  and closed storage.
