ATLAS PACKAGING EXPANDS POTENTIAL WITH NEW WAREHOUSE
Devon-based Atlas Packaging will be expanding their business by opening the doors to a purpose built 20,000sq.ft warehouse later this month.
The new state-of-the-art logistics unit will provide the ability to store up to 3600 pallets in purpose built racking that provides the ideal storage environment. The unit will also aid distribution and material handling, helping with efficiency.
Atlas Packaging has become an established market leader in the packaging industry since they began in 1983. The new warehouse will support the continued growth of the company which includes partnerships with major retailers such as Waitrose, Asda, B&Q and Harrods as well as renowned brands such as Interflora, Baileys, Johnny Walker, Pall Group, Barbers Cheese, Forrero Rocher, Kinder and many more.
Atlas Packaging has worked with Materials Handling Equipment (MHE) supplier Jungheinrich to deliver optimum racking and forklift truck solutions, ensuring the company continues to provide the most advanced technological solution in North Devon and the wider South West.
The logistics unit will not only benefit the company's growth, but also provide the following benefits:
A secure and clean environment for product storage.
A very narrow aisle racking solution that maximises the use of the space available.
Latest technology Combination Map up Fork Lift Trucks (FLT) that are fitted for full warehouse management, but already provide a semi-automatic picking function which increases machine efficiently by 20% over manual systems.
A First In/First Out (FIFO) system which ensures that stock rotation is maintained and only the latest batch is stored within the warehouse.
All of the pallet storage is now centrally stored on one site.
Jason Sharman, Managing Director at Atlas Packaging said, “We are extremely excited to unveil our new logistics unit as this will increase storage requirements and greatly aid our material handling efficiently, which will ensure a quicker and more efficient process for our customers.
“We will be hosting an open day in the next few weeks for businesses and customers, to showcase our new logistics unit.
“This is an extremely exciting milestone for the development of Atlas Packaging and I am very excited for it to be in use, expanding the potential of the company even further. This makes the possibilities endless.”
