Operationally, the company runs more than 40 locations across 20+ countries through the wider hasenkamp Group umbrella of nine owner-managed companies, with over 170,000 sqm of storage capacity and proprietary technology including the arca reusable climate-controlled transport crate, a patented modular hanging system for art objects, and geothermal-powered art depots maintaining 20-22°C and 50-55% humidity at under 20 kWh per sqm per year.
