Capacity and Commodities Handled

Throughout our warehousing in the UK, we manage over 70,000 square metres of purpose-built space. Our facilities can handle many soft commodities. These include coffee, cocoa, sugar, dried fruit, tea, rice, nuts and other food ingredients.

Our team handles a variety of packaging formats, including bulk bags (FIBCs), jute sacks and palletised goods. We store all products safely and efficiently, ensuring quality.

Our facilities are flexible and can support different product types and supply chain needs.

Storage Options at Our Warehouses

Across our UK sites, storage options are designed to meet different product needs:

  • Ambient pallet storage: Maintains stable temperature and humidity for non-perishable dry goods
  • Bulk bag storage: Utilises floor pallets or racking systems depending on product and handling requirements
  • Temperature-controlled storage: Kept at 10-11°C for items requiring additional protection such as dried fruits, nuts and some organic goods

Products are stored off the floor to promote airflow and minimise contamination risk. Get in touch with us for further information.
