New Elmdon warehouse for OnLogistics

Solihull-based logistics provider has expanded its presence in the West Midlands by adding a second facility to its portfolio

Integrated logistics provider OnLogistics has expanded its capacity and secured an additional storage facility in the West Midlands.

The expansion comes after the firm 's growth through being awarded fulfilment contracts within business to consumer and automotive sectors.

The new unit will oversee inbound activity, storage right through to fulfilment and dispatch for partnered businesses and clients across Europe helping to meet projected capacity requirements post Brexit.

Strategically located, the additional facility neighbours OnLogistics ' Aerospace dedicated warehouse within Elmdon Trading Estate in the borough of Solihull where it is adjacent to Birmingham International Railway Station, Birmingham International Airport and very close to the UK 's motorway network.

This latest expansion sees the logistics provider more than double its storage capacity to just over 43,000 sq ft.

Managing director Nick Bennett said: “These are challenging times for all, however we 're incredibly excited to be opening our second warehouse facility in such an ideal location allowing us to continue to add value to global businesses especially supporting our partners in Europe with a UK fulfilment solution.

“It 's a fantastic growth opportunity for the company and will significantly expand our capacity and capabilities. ”

Chairman Lord Digby Jones added: “Running a business in a good market is achievable by anybody but it takes special type of people to not only run a business but then to go on and thrive in such a challenging business climate.

“The addition of this facility is a clear and positive sign of the growth of OnLogistics and I want to thank the team for all their dedication and hard work. ”
