Trelleborg is investing in a major new warehouse to optimise its logistics capabilities for global aerospace customers. The new 15,000 ft²/1,394 m² facility in Burntwood, Staffordshire, UK, is scheduled to open in September 2024. It will service the growing market for aerospace sealing solutions, in which Trelleborg has cemented its position as a key player for innovative lightweight polymer components since becoming a leader in hydraulic systems for aircraft in the 1950s.
Terry Groom, General Manager – Aerospace Hub Europe North, says: “The new facility more than doubles the footprint of the current warehouse complex and reflects the strong growth in demand for Trelleborg aerospace components. Our customers are increasingly seeking support with specialist products and the logistics to manage distribution and certification challenges, and the new development in Burntwood is specifically designed to address these issues.
“It supports the expanding aerospace business with state-of-the-art logistics capabilities, including enhanced quality control facilities and expanded storage capacity, as well as new assembly, kitting, and special handling capabilities. The new facility is also being constructed to ensure we can easily expand stocking and storage space for the anticipated future growth of the industry.”
