2025 has been another remarkable year for Industore, as the company has hit significant milestones and strengthened our position as the UK and Ireland leader in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). Our commitment to delivering tailored, solutions has aided our ability to meet the evolving needs of our clients, driving growth and the completion of some of our largest, most ambitious and sophisticated projects to date.
The AS/RS market continues to strengthen globally. Projections today, are that the market value of automated storage will approach *$20 billion (USD) by 2033 – likely fuelled by increasing demand for efficient, automated solutions. In the UK particularly, Industore has seen remarkable growth in the e-commerce and automotive sectors this year.
Industore has been at the spear-tip of this trend in the UK and Ireland, providing innovative solutions across sectors, which are enhancing operational efficiency, optimising space utilisation – and reducing costs, at a difficult time for UK businesses.
Perhaps the primary driver of this progress has been the integration of HänelSoft, our proprietary warehouse management system (WMS). Whether implemented as a standalone solution or integrated with existing WMS platforms, HänelSoft enables clients to achieve exceptional inventory control. With features and benefits such as batch control, First-In-First-Out (FIFO) strategies, and introducing ever greater numbers of batch-picking solutions, our clients can maintain optimal inventory levels, eliminate stockouts, and ensure stock is always where it’s needed.

Ross Powell, Managing Director of Industore:
“Industore is part of the Richard H. Powell & Partners Group, combining over 50 years of multidisciplined expertise with what we call ‘architectural logic’. That’s the detailed analysis and integration of automated storage, space planning, and design to deliver true transformation. We analyse layout, throughput, and integration with a client’s specific needs (not just for today, but into the future), and create solutions that empower businesses to become the very best version of themselves. This blend of AS/RS, workplace design, and smart technology is what makes clients choose Industore. We don’t sell lifts, we deliver transformation, futureproofing businesses while facilitating growth and long-term success.”
