Jungheinrich's new Warrington facility

Jungheinrich opens a new facility in North West England this month, combining six existing sites in one central location.

Jungheinrich UK's new warehouse, based at Mountpark Warrington Omega, will open for staff at the end of this month. The site will provide additional training facilities for servicing, a demonstration hub, maintenance and sales, as well as the opportunity to scale for further growth in future years.

The warehouse was built with sustainability in mind, engineered to support energy sufficiency and carbon emission reduction. By centralising the logistics processes in the north, it has allowed Jungheinrich to reduce truck movements from various locations and, in turn, further continue to lower its carbon footprint.

Additionally, the site has been designed with a 99.55 kWh photovoltaic solar system which consists of over 300 solar panels. This will help contribute green energy to the building's sustainability goals as well as support its energy needs.

Arne Rosenkranz, finance director at Jungheinrich UK, emphasises the positive impact the grand opening has in regards to sustainability and staff productivity: "Our continued investment in the UK highlights our commitment to the environment, customers, staff and long-term sustainable growth within the market and our vision of becoming the number one intralogistics company. The new Warrington hub further enables us to reduce emissions and time theft by centralising the facility, allowing our staff to work more efficiently whilst contributing to our ambitious sustainability goals. We look forward to welcoming everyone back!"

Jungheinrich UK has a team of more than 800 employees, operating from seven locations across the UK.
