Codex Opens a New Elastomer Warehouse in Slovenia This summer Codex opened a new dedicated elastomer warehouse near its headquarters in Slovenia, strengthening its storage capabilities and supporting its continued expansion. Compared to metallic components, elastomers are more sensitive to their storage environment. Temperature, humidity, sunlight, ozone, dust and other external influences can affect material properties and shelf life over time. Proper storage is therefore an important part of maintaining product quality throughout the supply chain. The new Codex warehouse has been designed specifically around these requirements, providing stable temperature and regulated humidity, while protecting products from sunlight, ozone, dust and other environmental influences. Controlled conditions and full traceability The investment goes beyond additional storage space. Digital monitoring, batch traceability and systematic stock rotation are integrated into Codex’s elastomer warehousing processes. Relevant product information, including batch numbers, production dates and expiry dates, can be tracked throughout the storage process. This supports effective stock management and helps ensure that products are stored and handled according to their specified shelf life. For customers operating in demanding industrial applications, this provides additional confidence that the products they receive have been properly stored and handled before reaching their facilities. Additional measuring and quality control capabilities Codex has also expanded its in-house quality control capabilities with advanced measuring equipment, including the Micro-Vu Excel Measuring Center. Using high-resolution imaging and automated measurement technology, the system enables precise dimensional inspection of even complex geometries, strengthening product quality control at the company’s headquarters in Slovenia. Connecting the warehouse with customers through EDI Alongside its investment in physical infrastructure, Codex is also continuing to digitalise the exchange of information with customers through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). EDI enables business documents and order information to be exchanged directly between Codex and customer systems. Instead of manually transferring information from emails, PDFs or other documents, data can move automatically from one system to another. This is particularly useful for OEM customers and companies managing large numbers of products, repeat orders and scheduled deliveries. Automated data exchange can reduce manual administration, minimise data-entry errors and speed up order processing. The new warehouse has been designed around specific requirements for elastomers 54
