Plastor, leading UK suppliers of industrial strength plastic containers and storage products is pleased to announce the acquisition and launch of a brand new distribution centre in Chalgrove, Oxfordshire.
Plastor’s purchase of the new 17,500 sq ft distribution centre was an essential step forward to keep up with the increasing demand of plastic container and storage box products. Due to a rapid growth in sales over recent years, Plastor fast outgrew its 2 warehouses, based in Cookham, Berkshire, and required a single, larger warehouse within close proximity to its head office and showroom in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
Neil Harris, Marketing Manager comments, “The expansion is an important move to maintain the satisfaction of our customers’ expectations of efficiency and stock availability. Storing plastic containers causes more problems than most would imagine, firstly, unless the containers nest, you are technically storing air – therefore, a whole pallet space may only take up 40 or so plastic containers, which isn’t many containers on the scale of things. Secondly, many of the items are large, which again means you need a lot of storage space to hold large stock quantities, and if there are a lot of sizes within a range you require a vast amount of pallet racking space. The new distribution centre will ensure there is little chance of running out of storage space, and will also allow Plastor to hold more plastic container stock than ever before, plus we can increase the product ranges and offer our customers more of what they require, and deliver orders within the time they desire.
Plastor prides itself on customer service, which means supplying the right product on time, providing excellent advice and offering the right prices. Simply put, the new distribution centre will allow us to keep up our high level of service, keeping existing and new customers as happy as ever”.
