Worcester’s new Distribution Centre opens its doors

Worcester, Bosch Group was joined by local MP, Robin Walker, to officially open the doors of its new £9 million Bosch Distribution Centre, located in Warndon, Worcester.

The landmark building reaffirms the boiler manufacturer’s commitment to the area and ensures it can now consolidate its two existing distribution facilities into one, highly-efficient location.

The company’s finished boilers, heat pumps, cylinders, commercial products and accessories have already been moved from the previous warehouses to the new 6.7 acre site, which is able to hold more than 10,000 pallets at capacity.
Internal sales teams and the logistics planning departments have also made the move to the new building.

The site also features a three-tier mezzanine and additional racking to house the spare parts pre-pack and despatch departments for greater efficiency. When fully operational, it will allow for the despatch of 10,000 items per day.

Carl Arntzen, managing director of Worcester, Bosch Group, said:

“This new building supplements the huge investment we have undertaken at our head office and factory on Cotswold Way, and will ensure our business continues to produce and distribute the quality and innovative products for which Worcester is known, as effectively as possible.

“The move has involved a great deal of logistical planning to combine the two previous locations but we are already seeing the benefits.

“Not only has it made it easier in terms of storage and distribution space, but the extra office facilities also give flexibility for future growth, as we continue to strengthen our position in the market,” he said.
