Carbon neutral warehouse for UK’s Midlands
PGS Global has invested GBP 10 million (EUR 11.3 million) in developing the greenest storage and distribution hub in central England to support the growth of European manufacturers and retailers. The purpose-built carbon neutral warehouse is attracting strong interest from Europe due to its sustainable storage and distribution facilities, the Midlands-based logistics specialist said.
The new warehouse has an A-rated energy performance certificate (EPC) and 500 energy generating solar panels, backed up by an industrial battery storage system.
The high specification warehouse will double PGS Global Logistics’ pallet storage capabilities from 15,000 to 30,000 and include very narrow aisle (VNA) pallet racking to maximise capacity. It is also equipped with electric forklift trucks and a fully integrated market-leading warehouse management system.
The warehouse will serve as a hub for same day and next day parcel distribution, pallet, and full truck load deliveries to all parts of UK. (ben)
