IFCO has established new state-of-the-art service centres in two key locations that serve as central transportation hubs:
- A new service centre in Glasshoughton, West Yorkshire, opened in March 2024. The building spans an area of 14,190 square metres.
- A new service centre and IFCO operational headquarters in Coventry in the West Midlands, opened in April 2024. The building spans an area of 30,270 square metres.
The energy-efficient service centres are equipped with cutting-edge machinery featuring state-of-the-art wash lines, centrifugal drying, and advanced automation technologies. IFCO's proprietary SmartGuardian™ guarantees that all processes across the automated system uphold stringent international sanitation requirements. This ensures the highest standards of product quality and safety.
IFCO CEO Michael Pooley comments on the development, saying, "This strategic investment reflects our long-term commitment to the UK market and our dedication to meeting the evolving needs of our customers. It marks a significant milestone in our company's expansion and ongoing efforts to deliver innovative, sustainable packaging solutions and superior customer service."
"Combined, our service centres in the UK have an extended capacity of servicing over 400 million units per year. This enables IFCO to meet the future growth needs of existing and future customers. By upgrading and enlarging our facilities, we aim to provide them with better service, higher quality, and increased operational efficiency," explains Dirk Schaich, IFCO's Supply Chain Director for Northern Europe.
