The Copenhagen Warehouse as part of UNICEF's integrated supply operation. The new, automated Supply Division Warehouse covers over 20,000 square meters – the equivalent of three football pitches – and is equipped with the latest technology. The storage area alone is 8 stories high and could contain 6,000 20 foot containers. It has a storage capacity of 36,000 pallets. In addition to housing over 850 different UNICEF supply items, space is loaned to the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for stockpiling their emergency items. The warehouse has a 'Good Distribution Practice' license to store and distribute pharmaceutical products.
