Summary
Honouring Heritage with Modern Comfort
Duvel Moortgat is a Belgian family‑owned brewery founded in 1871 and renowned for premium specialty beers. As the company invested in new locker rooms and a staff restaurant, it sought a storage solution that combined tradition with modern comfort.
The goal was to provide hygienic, compact lockers for a diverse workforce while eliminating key management and improving operational efficiency.
Duvel’s Challenges
Complex Key Management
Temporary workers often locked their lockers, making it impossible for administrators to see when units were free and forcing the brewery to maintain extra capacity.
Limited Locker Flexibility
The existing system could not easily assign lockers separately to permanent staff and on‑call workers, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
Poor Hygiene & Rust
Old metal lockers lacked ventilation and were rusting, compromising hygiene and creating maintenance issues.
Need for Compact Design
New facilities demanded locker rooms with small compartments that separated shoes, workwear and personal clothing without sacrificing comfort.
A Smarter Solution
Discovery
Duvel consulted Olssen and Keynius to find a hygienic, key‑free locker system that serves both permanent and temporary staff.
Solution & Recommendation
They proposed laminated HPL lockers with RFID cards, integrated ventilation, a central display and a mix of full‑height and half‑height units.
Customization & Collaboration
After employees tested a mock‑up, architects refined the layout and Olssen completed installation within four months.
Why Keynius
Duvel chose Keynius for its compact lockers with overlapping doors, centralized management and card access—all engineered to meet strict hygiene standards.
The Results: Hygienic Lockers and Effortless Allocation
