According to Renta Espacio, a pioneering self-storage company in the country, this date takes on a special meaning, as its work revolves precisely around what this figure represents: the careful and respectful custody of what others consider valuable.
Thus, the cellarer is not simply the person in charge, as the name suggests, of organizing a wine cellar, but they also have the responsibility of caring for furniture, mementos, and personal items that represent vital moments for those who store them.
These custodians of stories also have the function of providing security, order and care , taking into account that what may seem like a trivial object to some may be a treasure to others.
"Most people who use these services do so during important transitions in their personal lives, so the winemaker's job also involves accompanying these moments of change with empathy and professionalism. From packaging to the internal organization of the wine cellars, everything is designed to protect and optimize," the company explained.

The above is done considering that each material requires a specific treatment.
In that vein, the ideal warehouse manager is, in the team's words, someone who "packs every box as if it were their own." They also keep a rigorous inventory, maintain cleanliness of the space, safeguard the integrity of the stored items, and operate with complete discretion.
