One of the UK’s largest material handling and storage companies, Middlesex-based
Flowstore Systems has announced the full opening of a new manufacturing facility in Belgium as the company continues its rapid growth plans to become the largest of its type in Europe. Located in Evergem, near Ghent, the Belgium facility will serve clients across the European Union (EU) and comes on the back of the company announcing its move into larger UK premises.
Simon Bolton, Flowstore’s sales and marketing director, said: “Our expansion into Belgium forms part of our strategic growth plans and our commitment to becoming the market leader in our industry. In June, we announced a move into larger premises in West Drayton, Middlesex. The addition of the Belgium plant now sees Flowstore offer increased manufacturing and storage facilities across both sites.
Moreover, the opening of the Belgium facility will enable the Flowstore business to serve one of its long-established clients — in e-commerce — that is also located in the country, along with other automotive, aerospace and manufacturing customers.”
Flowstore, which provides material-handling and storage facilities for some of the largest brands in the world — including BOL.com, BMW, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin — incorporates some of the ‘most cutting-edge technology’ into its business solutions. Indeed, the company recently introduced ‘autonomous mobile robot integration’ into its UK facility.
