Supporting Scalable Store Rollouts with Consistent and Durable Shelving Systems
Project Overview
Action operates a fast-growing discount retail model across multiple European markets.
In 2005 first Action international branch was founded in Belgium. Currently, it has 1800 stores with 38000 employees working in nine countries, including Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, France, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Luxembourg.
As store growth picked up speed, they needed a shelving solution that they could put up fast, produce consistently, and adapt to different store layouts.
RedSheep partnered with Action to help with this big shelving project, delivering a solution built for high-volume retail environments and fast store rollouts.

Client Background
Action is a well-known discount retailer that serves a broad customer base across Europe.
Its business model relies on:
-
High product turnover
-
Consistent in-store presentation
-
Fast and efficient store setup
-
Cost-effective, durable fixtures
With new stores opening all the time and layouts changing, they needed shelving that could keep up with the speed and last a long time.
Challenges in Action Shop Case And The Solution:
- Copyright legal risk: it is a challenge because our products are quite similar to the original Tegometall. According to us, putting a logo on each item can distinguish it from the actual product while helping escape any legal problems.
- Strict delivery schedule: A customer once placed an order for 100 containers. They demanded that the goods be delivered within three months. After comprehensive research and analysis, we decided to scale up the automatic production to better meet the deadlines. We initiated by investing 1.5 million US dollars and established five automated production lines of shelf panel, back panel, base leg, upright, and brackets. Thanks to the efficient technology, it can only produce 4000 shelf panels, 4000 back panels, 2000 base legs, 1500 uprights, and 25000 brackets in a single day. Last but not least, the production efficiency of the foot has become four times better than before. It hardly takes five minutes to create a foot sample from scratch.
- Accurate loading plan: we put shop shelving parts, hanging cages, and wire shopping baskets together with containers. Our engineers, through accurate calculation, arrange shipments, making sure every inch of the container is being invested. In 2020 and 2021, when sea freight was high, our logistics department saved customers $200000 in sea freight each year. They also make sure none of the products are hurt during the process.
- Standard quality: every time we are done with production, we carry out an FAQ, paint impact test, crosscut adhesive test, and shelf installation test to ensure the quality consistency of each batch.
The project “Action” has lasted for 15 years, dating back to 2011. Today, it falls under the list of our regular customers who have enjoyed satisfying quality and results every time. Action has benefited from our cooperation and has grown into one of the most dynamic store chains in Western Europe.
Our Approach in Action Shop Case
To solve these problems, RedSheep built a scalable and modular shelving system.
Customised, Modular Design
The shelving system was designed to support different store formats and product displays while maintaining a consistent look and feel across locations.
Scalable Manufacturing Process
Our production process was set up to handle big orders without sacrificing quality, making sure every unit met the same specs and was built to last.
Quality Control at Every Stage
We put in multiple quality checks throughout production to make sure the units were stable, the finish looked the same, and they would last.
Coordinated Logistics Support
We worked closely with the rollout schedule to make sure we delivered on time, helping them get set up in all their stores.
