Kite Packaging extend regional distribution services

Due to Kite’s continued growth (powered by employee shareownership) and record year in 2021, the packaging company has announced that it has expanded its Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) network to include the North West of the UK.

The new RDC, which opened in October 2022, is set to strategically serve industries from Cumbria down to Stoke-on-Trent, including Wrexham in North Wales. The North West RDC will be offering customers a dedicated delivery service, supplying a vast range of innovative standard and bespoke packaging solutions, say Kite.

The North West operation will be supported by Kite’s teams of highly experienced, industryleading packaging specialists, with businesses within the catchment area set to benefit from Kite’s expertise in corrugated re-design, in-thebox protection, pallet wrap optimisation, advanced manufacturing and engineering designed packaging and compliance with packaging regulations.

Demonstrated by Kite’s state of the art Mobile Packaging Laboratory (MPL), the North

West RDC team will also be able to travel directly to client sites for maximum engagement and understanding of their packaging needs. Aboard the MPL, customers will have the opportunity to discuss their requirements, test solutions and view sustainable alternatives with Kite’s packaging specialists.

The new North West RDC will also create jobs within the area, ultimately benefitting local economies, whilst helping businesses to streamline the packaging they use to reduce costs, say Kite.
