| AKW Group pumps £800k into site to consolidate ops
Jill Park, packagingnews.co.uk, 21 October 2009
Logistics company AKW Group has invested £800,000 to extend its Trafford Park facility to accommodate extra warehousing and contract packing.
The company is using the money to refurbish a 7,246sqm facility that will support its existing 46,451sqm depot.
AKW already has three packaging halls in its depot and surplus packaging equipment from this facility will be moved to the new refurbished site.
AKW's contract packing division operates in the gift set, shelf-ready packaging, sleeving and labelling markets, among others.
Its customers include multinationals such as L'Or¨¦al and Unilver.
The Manchester-based company moved into contract packing four years ago upon the acquisition of Trafford Park Packaging, but was consolidated by its acquisition of Liberty Contract Packing two years ago.
AKW contract packing director Rebecca Davis said: "We've got the complete logistics service all housed on our unit here." |
