LPR moving Sywell and Avonmouth depots to “full automation”
LPR UK, a division of the European pallet pooling specialist, has announced a series of investments in its nationwide network of facilities.
The upgrades include a “six-figure sum” to full automate two depots at Sywell and Avonmouth.
LPR has also announced increased funding for its flatbed vehicle service with XPO. The offering is due to be rolled out across the North West early next year, with LPR also working with a number of regional transport businesses to provide a similar service UK-wide.
Simon Wood, operations director for LPR UK and Ireland, commented: “These upgrades signal LPR’s intent to continually improve efficiencies across its UK network, while ensuring safety and first-rate working environments.”
Alongside updates to its depot network, LPR has also announced a series of new or extended contract wins over the past year. These include wins with leading FMCG manufacturers including East End Foods and Princes Gate, alongside an expansion of LPR’s presence in the logistics industry, with new contracts being signed with Global Freight and Boardlink.
