Shower products manufacturer Kudos has opened its second warehouse to support the company’s growth plans.
The new warehouse has been added to the Sandbach site in Cheshire, increasing the warehouse space by 28,000 sq ft, and with a racking system that will double the pallet space at the facility.
The Cumbria-based manufacturer previously opened the first warehouse facility in Cheshire in 2021. The investment at the time was to house its finished goods stock in a more central location for efficient UK delivery to its customers.
In 2024, it was established that to support the company’s growth plans, the warehouse facility would need to be expanded.
The new extension was completed in April and, once fully racked out this Autumn, Kudos hopes will “facilitate the forecasted range extensions and a broader range of current products to further improve its customer service levels.”
Commenting on the expanded warehouse space, Kie Hitchcox, head of operations at Kudos Showers, said: “This extension has allowed us to not only increase our warehouse space but to streamline our operational flow with the addition of a goods-in specific entrance to the site.
“It will enable our growth plan for the next financial year and beyond.”
The Sandbach finished goods warehouse facility now totals almost 80,000 sq ft and houses the logistics and marketing teams for the business.
It is also home to a 2,500 sq ft showroom and training area where all the business’s latest product collections are on display.
