The STOPA shelving system for long-span goods No. 1, the first such system ever built by the company, has finished its working life
Built by STOPA founder Paul Stolzer in 1974, it was a milestone in STOPA history and laid the groundwork for STOPA as we know it today. Finally, after 47 years, the system has gone into retirement.
Forty seven years is an impressive lifetime for a system of this kind. When it came out, it was a prime example of the durability and quality of STOPA storage systems, and it is still admired for these attributes today. With its capacity of 2,000 kg, the system set high standards – standards which Paul Stolzer and STOPA were repeatedly able to exceed in later years.
However, there comes a time when an old system must surrender its place to a new one. The new and more modern LG-E shelving system has replaced its predecessor, setting the company’s course for the future.
Our original shelving system for long-span goods is not only unforgettable as our first such system, it is also an important part of our history. We associate it with many precious memories of STOPA’s early years and of our founder, Paul Stolzer.
We therefore mark this occasion with mixed feelings: sad to say goodbye, but also happy to look forward from such strong beginnings.
