The 200,000 sq ft site in Wellington, Somerset, will allow the company to serve its growing customer base in the South West with ease.
“We will open the site as a distribution hub in early April 2013,” said Richard Coward, MD. “Packaging manufacture will be handled at our Desborough and Selby factories and then transported to Wellington in bulk loads. Customers can then call off by batch, meaning we can offer a true just-in-time service for the southwest.
“It is our intention to install a range of converting machines during 2013. During the year, a balanced line-up of converting machines will be installed that will enable Rigid to provide a full product range including cases, die cut containers and multi point glued products. This will involve both equipment bought specifically for the new site and machine transfers from our Selby and Desborough operation as we replace them with new models as part of our investment plans here in the UK.”
