CAEM UK

Founded in 1989 with the aim of servicing the network of UK Shopfitters with a quality shelving system, CAEM UK quickly developed into a major player in the industry.

In 1994 the first automated manufacturing was set up to service the growing customer base. The machines, designed entirely in-house and custom built delivered back panels and shelves in high volume to the smallest tolerance for the highest quality.

SHELVING SYSTEMS

When launching its first Modular Shelving System in the early 60’s, CAEM already followed the principles of quality and modularity, both keys to our long term success.

Our current TN9 System is still modular with the original design, giving a guarantee to customers across the globe of continued product availability at any time. It is our strong belief that a well engineered product needs matching with a solid business structure for real long term customer service.

TN9 Shelving today includes countless accessories and configurations, making it ideal to adapt to the new challenges of growing retailers. TN9 is used today in many countries around the World in the most different sectors such as Food Stores, Homeware, Pharmacy, DIY.

Our S50 System is compatible with 50mm pitch shelving widely available in some areas of the world. CAEM’s value added offer of product development and services has improved its potential for many customers.

The expansion of CAEM is the result of rapid product development that brought about the creation of a further four main shelving system structures offering improved floor space use, more effective merchandising, compatibility for those retailers targeting the CAEM service but supplied elsewhere before.

CAEM GROUP

CAEM-Magrini S.p.A. was founded in 1958 by Rito Magrini. After the first sheet metal fabrication during the sixties, CAEM began to grow with the introduction of modern, efficient manufacturing and automated processes. During the seventies, Nedo Magrini joined the company and CAEM started to introduce its modular shelving system, which is the foundation of its success.

After building up sales and a network of satisfied customers across Europe, CAEM UK and Spain were incorporated to improve customer service in these important regions. During the nineties, the UK business expanded rapidly installing a full manufacturing facility and finishing unit, also in this period CAEM expanded its customer base to Russia and the Middle East. CAEM Australia was strengthened with a long term strategic plan.

Markets and consumers continue to evolve, CAEM have responded to this opportunity by significantly expanding its product range: more sizes, more colours, more options, more displays, all available as standard from the CAEM catalogue. This resulted in increased market penetration and established CAEM as a solid global player in modular shelving: the product range is designed with an attention to detail, built in flexibility with the available options and supported by our team of industry professionals.

As we enter the 21st century there has been further transformation in the market, with purchasers increasingly under pressure to secure better value for money by examining options in the emerging markets. For CAEM this was a new challenge and a tremendous opportunity: CAEM India commenced operation in 2006 and the manufacturing and design unit incorporated in 2008. New investments in key products were allocated for manufacturing in China: a newer more cost effective option became available together with 25mm, imperial 1inch and 50mm compatible shelving systems.

After the first introduction of 50mm shelving and 1inch/25mm shelving, CAEM R&D focused on further improvements for these systems. The outcome is the ultimate in metal modular shelving systems our ‘S50’ and ‘M25’ ranges. Between 2012 and 2014 CAEM proceeded with a multi-million investment in state of the art automated manufacturing of S50 and M25 in its Italian plant.

Today the CAEM Group services the market with a manufacturing capacity 10 times higher than a decade ago with an extensive range of shopfitting products and services that the marketing team customises to provide a solution to a specific retailer’s needs. CAEM are proud of their extensive customer base covering a wide range of European retailers in many sectors: convenience stores, supermarkets and grocery, hypermarkets, discount stores, non food discounters, pharmacies, DIY and bricolage, toys, newsagents, hospital pharmacy departments.
