Container Storage System for Precision Manufacturing at Woodward Aken
High-Precision Manufacturing at the Aken Facility
Woodward Aken GmbH is part of the internationally operating technology company Woodward. At its site in Aken (Elbe), Germany, the company develops and manufactures high-precision fuel injection systems for large diesel engines used in power generation, marine applications and industry.
The manufacturing operations at the site are characterised by modern machinery, precision machining technologies and demanding production processes. Machining and processing high-quality components are also key activities at the Aken facility.
NCQ 100 HS for On-Site Container Storage
At its Aken facility, Woodward Aken GmbH uses a CONSTELLMAT container storage system of type NCQ 100 HS.
The container shelter provides a designated, protected parking space for a skip container directly on the company premises. Its covered design allows container storage to be efficiently integrated into the existing site infrastructure.
Particularly in an industrial production environment with different manufacturing operations and material flows, clearly organised storage areas for skip containers are a practical addition to internal logistics.
Covered Skip Container Storage in an Industrial Environment
The NCQ 100 HS combines a protected storage area with an integrated spill containment system. This provides a practical solution for the covered positioning of a skip container within a production facility.
For companies in mechanical engineering and metalworking, container storage systems of this kind can help ensure that skip containers are kept in clearly designated, weather-protected areas on the company premises.
The installation at Woodward Aken demonstrates that even a single container storage space can be specifically tailored to the requirements of a modern manufacturing facility.
Container Shelters for Manufacturing and Production Facilities
At Woodward Aken, the NCQ 100 HS complements the existing infrastructure by providing a protected container storage area for industrial use.
CONSTELLMAT container shelters are used by a wide range of manufacturing companies – from the metalworking industry and mechanical engineering to businesses with complex production and waste disposal processes.

CONSTELLMAT – Container Storage Systems for Industry
Whether you need a single unit or a larger container storage solution, CONSTELLMAT offers container shelters for skip containers and practical solutions for on-site container logistics.
The NCQ 100 HS at Woodward Aken is an example of a compact, space-saving container storage system for an industrial production environment.
Frequently Asked Questions About This Reference Project
Which companies would benefit from a similar solution?
Structured outdoor waste disposal is particularly beneficial even when a company handles only one material stream and needs to optimise its day-to-day waste management processes.
Does the company’s entire waste disposal process need to be redesigned?
No. In many cases, existing processes can be maintained and specifically improved by creating clearly designated areas and introducing a more structured layout.
How customised can such a solution be?
The solution is generally tailored to the existing conditions at the facility, taking into account factors such as available space, material types and internal operational processes.
How can you identify when improvements are needed?
Typical signs include unclear responsibilities, poorly organised collection areas and increased coordination efforts in day-to-day operations.
How is a project like this implemented in practice?
As a rule, the existing situation is first analysed before a structured solution is developed that can be integrated into the company’s existing operational processes.
