Rapid expansion – Delbanco Myer

When Delbanco Meyer, a leading supplier of household textiles and brush materials, first built a new distribution centre, adjacent to the A1M, at Stevenage, a Redirack narrow aisle pallet racking scheme was installed. The company’s rapid expansion thereafter soon created the requirement to extend the site further.

Kieron Dunne is Delbanco Meyer’s Logistics Director. He explains. “Turnover has almost doubled in four years, due to an increasing demand for our products from a number of well known High Street retailers. We needed to expand our storage and distribution facilities to cope with the extra demand.”

The new 31,000 square foot extension allowed for additional racking which was installed in two phases. In total an extra 6214 pallet locations have been created, doubling storage capacity at the distribution centre. Once again, Redirack were awarded the contract to supply the racking. Kieron Dunne comments. “Our original system has worked well and we felt that keeping commonality in the extension was important for our workers. We have developed a very good business relationship with Redirack and we have found their product to be excellent. They were also able to meet the extremely tight installation deadlines on both phases of the project.”
