New distribution hub for Fibox products nears completion in Finland

After a thorough review of its European business, Fibox has made the decision to invest in a second logistics hub to help them optimise delivery times and, in turn, their overall efficiency.

Together with the company’s existing European hub in Germany, and in Poland, the new warehouse will be based in Turku, Finland to support demand in Scandinavia for Fibox standard products, particularly the new ARCA range of wall mounting cabinets (illustrated), which is already exceeding sales expectations in Europe.

Steve Gallon, MD of Fibox in the UK, says establishing the new delivery hub in Finland will make the company's operations more efficient as it moves into new territories and markets. The project is expected to strengthen the company's delivery service level in central and southern Europe and especially to UK customers.

“Our company is growing, with ambitious plans in place for the medium and long term, and in order to support this we needed to ensure our distribution infrastructure is robust enough to maintain the service levels our European customers demand and receive,” Mr Gallon adds.

The ramp up process is well underway and it is expected that the new hub will be fully operational by the end of July 2014.
