Southgate Packaging Group opens EU distribution centre

On Tuesday 7th June, Southgate Packaging Group’s Operations Director Charles McIntyre cut the ribbon on the company’s new 200,000 ft² distribution centre near Brussels, Belgium, marking an exciting new phase in the group’s European expansion plans with storage space for 18,000 pallets.

The opening of this facility follows the 2015 opening of the group’s 155,000 ft² UK Distribution Centre and significantly increases their ability to guarantee service excellence to more than 1,100 UK and European distributors and extend their nextday delivery service to most of Europe.

Craig Turner, Marketing Manager for Southgate Packaging said: “With an expanding number of distributors operating from France, Germany, Spain and other neighbouring countries, the opening of this distribution centre comes at a timely moment for us to further our commitment and service levels to our business partners. Our growth in Europe has exceeded our expectations over the last four years and in being able to now offer nextday delivery fulfilment from Brussels, we can only expect this trend to continue.’’
