Craemer UK, one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality plastic pallets and storage and transport containers, has successfully completed an expansion of its Telford production and warehouse facilities in September. The major improvements enable Craemer to now offer improved production lead-times, faster order to delivery turnaround and an overall enhanced customer service.

Headquartered in Germany, the family-owned Craemer Group employs over 700 people at four European sites in Germany, Slovakia, France and the UK. Having manufactured one of the world’s first plastic pallets nearly 50 years ago Craemer is known as a pioneer in plastics processing and to this day continues to be at the forefront of development and innovation with its range of high-quality plastic products. Production at the Telford facility started nearly ten years ago and the company has been experiencing continuous growth and business success since opening its doors.

As a result of this success story Craemer UK had outgrown its Telford operation and, in order to meet the increasing demands of the UK market, recently decided to make the big move of expanding its warehouse and production facilities. Throughout 2014 Craemer invested a total of £6.5m in a new stock and distribution facility, extensions to the warehouse and production halls and the installation of two additional state-of-the-art plastic injection molding machines.

These major technical and operational improvements within the UK manufacturing platform represent the Craemer Group’s continuous investment in the UK material handling industries. Steve Poppitt, Sales Director at Craemer UK, is pleased with the expansion and explains the many benefits: “Thanks to this step Craemer UK’s production and warehouse facilities are now future-proof. We are able to offer our customers improved production lead-times, faster order to delivery turnaround and a significantly increased production capacity.” With Christmas on its way and 2014 slowly drawing to a close Steve Poppitt shares some of Craemer UK’s plans for next year: “Now that the expansion is completed we are planning the introduction of more products in 2015 as well as an expanded plastics production line at our UK facility to help provide sustainable material handling solutions for the UK industries.”
