Outdoor brand opens doors to £2m distribution centre

Outdoor living provider Kettler has opened the doors to its £2m distribution facility in Redditch.

The extra high facility, which is centrally located adjacent to its current warehouse, will treble the company’s current onsite capacity.

The new facility has 120 tonnes of steelwork and three miles of racking that will accommodate 5,500 pallets and improve the company’s stockholding and efficiency.

The brand new distribution centre is also well positioned for Kettler’s national network of retailers.

Kettler managing director, Paul Bevington, said: “We are delighted to launch this state-of-the-art facility and mark another major milestone in Kettler’s journey. The new distribution centre means that we can now store all our stock and operate from one single location, which will ensure we can continue to promptly and efficiently respond to customer demand and to prepare for more innovation in an ever-changing marketplace as we look ahead to 2020.”
