A British logistics specialist has invested £10 million to develop the greenest storage and distribution center in central England to support the growth of European manufacturers and retailers.
Based in Midlands, PGS Global Logistics Ltd’s purpose-built carbon neutral warehouse is attracting significant interest from Europe for its sustainable storage and distribution facilities.
The new warehouse has an A-label energy performance certificate (EPC) and benefits from 500 energy-generating solar panels, supported by an industrial battery storage system.
The high-performance warehouse doubles PGS Global Logistics’ pallet storage capacity from 15,000 to 30,000 and benefits from Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) pallet racking to maximize capacity.
Electric forklift trucks and a fully integrated industry-leading warehouse management system have enabled the company to develop a storage, pick and pack facility ideally suited to e-commerce and more traditional routes to market.
The warehouse will also act as a hub for same-day and next-day parcel distribution, pallet and full truck deliveries to all parts of the UK, including the distribution centers of all major retailers.
By investing in renewable energy sources, PGS Global Logistics aims to generate enough electricity to be self-sufficient for about eight months a year.
The bonded warehouse has been developed to serve European customers who want a centrally located distribution center in the UK that can offset some of the supply chain carbon emissions and provide an end-to-end international solution by road, sea and by air.
About PGS Global Logistics
It’s been 25 years since MD Paul Eyles picked up his first shipment from Carrs Tool Steels in Smethwick to deliver to London.
Since then, the company has grown and expanded with the same personal service, values and attention to detail as that first delivery. With over 100 vehicles and 200 members of the team, PGS Global Logistics is a logistics giant, but still remember why Carrs trusted us then and still trust us now to get their goods delivered intact and on time.
The great attention to detail and sense of personal service normally only associated with a small family business is the foundation on which PGS Global Logistics and all of its employees operate.
PGS Global Logistics takes the time to listen to customer requirements, enabling us to provide a unique service unmatched by anyone else in the industry.
At PGS Global Logistics, we take great pride in what we do and refuse to accept second best!
