Our customer supply chain includes two main sites, Grane Road manufacturing site and the High Bay distribution centre. Both sites are local to the M66 and provide a central location for our business.
The Grane Road site produces approx 25,000 tonnes of liquids per annum. The products are generally concentrate, requiring dilution prior to use, and packed in a variety of sizes ranging from 5 litres up to bulk deliveries of 20,000 litres. A small proportion of products are ready to use and packed in 750 ml trigger sprays up to 5 litres.
The High Bay distribution centre was commissioned in January 2003 and provides storage for over 3,000 pallets and holds over 600 products lines.
Raw Material Supply
Detergent manufacturers need reliable supplies of raw materials. The raw material supply chain is an integrated worldwide network. Geo-political events, world economics, environmental / ethical pressures from consumers, and legislation now form part of the buying/planning strategy; while product development is about maintaining flexibility in production techniques.
