The new facility is SLG’s third-largest distribution centre in Europe. Together with SLG’s existing distribution centres in Antwerp and Munich, the new location enhances brewers’ access to the company’s Kegspediter keg management service across Europe.
It is a strategic location, particularly for UK brands in the Kegspediter system.
“After conducting a network analysis of our customers in Europe, we determined that opening a distribution centre in the UK would help us to increase the cycle time and frequency of keg shipments for brewers,” said Andreas Bornefeld, SLG vice president, international supply chain services. “It will also increase efficiency by eliminating transfers in the US.
“We’re excited to invest in this resource that will help brewers to optimise their asset usage and strengthen their supply chains.”
