Bleckmann has opened a new fulfilment centre in Swindon and further expanded its logistics services and footprint in the UK. With the new multi-user site, the Netherlands-based company will serve current and new clients, by adding 80,000 square feet of UK based storage capacity. The brand new location will be fully operational by the end of September 2021.

The multi-user site at Swindon Trinity Park combines two units and consists of a total footprint of 80,000 square feet. The site is well connected by road, located close to motorway M4, offering good transportation infrastructure. The building has a free height of 12 metres and offers great storage capacity. Other features are offered like HGV parking and office space as well. The high-quality warehouse was recently completed and immediately made available by Trebor Developments and funding partner Hillwood. This is where Bleckmann saw the opportunity to expand, the company said in a press release.

“We have quickly outgrown the capacity of the current Swindon operation. Therefore, we were looking for additional capacity in the area to further accommodate the growth of our existing clients, as well as on-boarding of new clients, whilst utilising the skilled experience of the Swindon team,” Mark van Onna, general manager real estate at Bleckmann said in a statement.

“We will fit out the facility with a mix of high bay pallet racking and working areas in the next months. We receive a lot of e-commerce fulfilment requests and international omni-channel clients want to establish a foothold in the UK. From this new distribution centre in Swindon, Bleckmann will be able to provide all kinds of warehousing services including VAS and returns,” Reinardt van Oel, chief operations officer at Belgium and UK, Bleckmann said.
