ADDITIONAL SPACE AT ELANDERS SITE DESIGNED TO HELP SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES
A print and packaging supply chain management company has converted 25,000 sq ft of additional space at its Newcastle site to support customers in the light of the current global supply chain issues.
Elanders logistics site, based at New York Business Park, now has capacity for an additional 1,250 pallets to support its existing fulfilment services and capability.
The investment meets the needs of Elanders UK current and new clients' needs that range from effective operational design to secure storage, separate cages areas and security access control.
The services are designed to help businesses who are experiencing storage and fulfilment challenges which have been exacerbated by the recent global supply chain issues.
Elanders UK has ‘excise warehouse’ status to support alcohol supply chain services and a ‘bonded’ supply chain operational solution, where utilising this capability will negate any double duty and UK Tax payments for goods that are shipped to the UK from outside the EU and later sold to EU customers.
The additional space has been designed to work with small to medium size businesses who operate in both the B2B and B2C markets.
Kevin Rogers, managing director for Elanders in the UK, said: "Supply chain solutions are under immense pressure today. The business situation has highlighted that many supply chain solutions are not that agile or flexible to mitigate significant challenge and disruption.
"New solutions and structural designs are now actually needed to meet a changed customer demand requirement. What Elanders has today is the flexible solution that can support both B2B and B2C activities – creating more localised responsive and personal supply chain solutions in a global economy."
