Wincanton Logistics Invests In Foodservice Infrastructure
UK – Wincanton, a major logistics and supply chain management provider in the UK, has increased its ability to handle the company’s growing presence in the foodservice sector by committing £3 million to the development of an 110,000 square foot handling and distribution hub in Manchester.
The new distribution centre, located at Trafford Park, increases Wincanton’s foodservice capabilities by over 125% and provides space for nearly 6,500 pallets of product. The company says that the investment indicates the firmness of intent they have to establish themselves more solidly in the foodservice sector, as they have already in a number of other freight and logistic areas.
